The plain answer
What is Clinq Zero?
Clinq Zero is a non-alcoholic sparkling wine made in the USA from California Pinot Grigio. The alcohol is removed at room temperature, never with heat, so nothing has to be added back: the label lists two ingredients, dealcoholized wine and carbon dioxide. Each 5 oz glass has 10 calories, 0g sugar, and under 0.5% alcohol by volume. It drinks light and dry, like a prosecco, and is served as cold as possible. A 750ml bottle costs $28 until launch on September 30, 2026, and $32 after. The first run ships the first week of October to the United States and Canada, free on orders over $100. It is made for people who love sparkling wine and are drinking less, and it comes with the Finish-the-Bottle Guarantee: open one, and if you do not finish it, the order is refunded.
Clinq Zero at a glance
What is in the bottle?
Two things. Dealcoholized wine, which is a California Pinot Grigio that has had its alcohol removed, and carbon dioxide, the gas that makes any sparkling wine sparkle. There is no grape juice, no concentrate, no natural flavors, no added acids, and no preservatives. That is why the nutrition line reads 10 calories and 0g sugar per 5 oz glass: the alcohol carried most of the calories out with it, and nothing sweet was put in to replace it.
The 0g is not a health claim. It is evidence. Most non-alcoholic wine has sugar because it was heated during dealcoholization and the recipe was rebuilt afterward. A short ingredient list is the sign that the rebuild never happened.
How is Clinq Zero made?
It starts as a finished California Pinot Grigio, chosen because it drinks light and dry the way a good prosecco does. The wine then passes through membranes at room temperature that separate the alcohol from everything else. The wine itself is never warmed. Only the separated stream of alcohol and water goes through a further step, and the wine’s own water is returned to it. Because the aroma compounds never leave the wine, there is no hole to fill and nothing to add back. Carbon dioxide is added at bottling for the bubbles, and the bottle is finished with a cork and cage like any sparkling wine.
The founder, Antonino Li Brizzi, spent years selling both kinds of alcohol-removal equipment to wineries before starting the brand, and sold the room-temperature system to the facility that now makes Clinq Zero. The longer version is on the dealcoholized wine page, with his video.
What does Clinq Zero taste like?
Light, dry, and crisp, with fine bubbles and the acidity of the Pinot Grigio it started as. It is lighter in body than the same wine with the alcohol in it, because alcohol adds weight, and it is not sweet, because nothing sweet was added. If you like prosecco, brut cava, or a dry sparkling wine at brunch, this is built for that glass. If you prefer a sweet sparkling, it will taste dry to you. Serve it as cold as you can; the colder it is, the longer it holds its bubbles.
You do not have to take our word for it. Open one bottle from your first order within 14 days of delivery. If you do not finish it, email us and the whole order is refunded. We call it the Finish-the-Bottle Guarantee because that is the only test that matters.

Who is Clinq Zero for?
People who love sparkling wine and, for their own reasons, are drinking less of it. A workout in the morning. A long week. A baby on the way. Hosting and staying sharp. Or no reason at all. It is the bottle you keep in the fridge door next to the prosecco, so that on a night you are not drinking you still get the pour, the sound, and the same glass as everyone else at the table. If you have tried non-alcoholic wine before and found it sweet, thin, or like grape juice with bubbles, this was made for you specifically.

Who makes Clinq Zero?
Clinq Zero is an independent company headquartered in Austin, Texas, founded by Antonino Li Brizzi. He grew up in Sicily, where a bottle of bubbles is opened for any reason, and spent fifteen years in beverage and packaging, part of it selling the equipment wineries use to remove alcohol from wine. He started the brand when he could not find a non-alcoholic sparkling wine he would put on his own table. Reach the team at [email protected].

Pre-order the first run →Questions people ask about Clinq Zero
Is Clinq Zero real wine?
Yes. It starts as a finished California Pinot Grigio, fermented the normal way, and then has its alcohol removed at room temperature. The label calls it dealcoholized wine, which is the legal term for wine that was made as wine and had the alcohol taken out afterward.
Is Clinq Zero alcohol-free?
No. It is non-alcoholic, which in the United States means under 0.5% alcohol by volume, the same range as kombucha. It does not claim 0.0%. If you are pregnant or avoiding alcohol for a medical reason, read the label and decide with your doctor.
How many calories are in Clinq Zero?
10 calories per 5 oz glass, with 0g sugar. A 750ml bottle holds about five glasses.
Does Clinq Zero have sugar?
0g per glass. Nothing sweet was added because the wine was never heated, so there was nothing to cover up. Read the whole ingredient list on any bottle: two ingredients here, often five or more elsewhere.
Where is Clinq Zero made?
From California wine, finished in the USA. The company is headquartered in Austin, Texas.
Can I buy a single bottle?
Yes. Until launch on September 30, 2026, one bottle is $28 plus $7.99 shipping. From launch, $32 plus $12.99. Two bottles are $56 plus shipping. Orders over $100, a box of four or a case of six, ship free.
When will my order arrive?
The first run is bottled September 30, 2026, and pre-orders ship in the order they were placed starting the first week of October. You get a tracking email the day it leaves. Pre-orders can be cancelled for a full refund any time before they ship.
Is there a subscription?
Yes. A case of six at $28 a bottle, delivered on the schedule you pick. Pause, skip, or cancel any time.
How should I serve and store it?
Exactly like prosecco. Keep it cool and out of the light, chill it as cold as you can before opening, and pour it in a flute. The colder it is, the longer the bubbles hold.
What if I do not like it?
Open one bottle from your first order within 14 days of delivery. If you do not finish it, email [email protected] with your order number and the whole order is refunded. Nothing to send back. Orders placed to enter a giveaway or special promotion are excluded.
