    Grape juice is extremely sweet, so it’s not a good substitute.
    Alcohol free wine is wine with the alcohol removed, which tastes very different and isn’t usually sweet.

      So, they just remove the sugar from the juice…

      I mean, I made a ton of wine in the past… The only thing that happens is sugar gets converted to booze, and the booze preserves the juice.

      Its really not all that different.

      I suppose easier would be harvesting the grapes early, before they load up sugar, and juice that, and call it “alcohol free wine” lol

        Sure you can harvest the grapes early, if you want your drink to taste sour as fuck.
        I don’t know if you’ve ever tasted alcohol-free wine, but it’s really something different from grape juice.

          Yes, its mostly sugarless grape juice. Fermentation just converts sugar in alcohol. Thats about it with wine.
