Bordeaux has just seen the launch of its first ever cave wine shop dedicated solely to no-alcohol wines.

Oenologist Frédéric Brochet : "I think it is going to be a revolution in the wine world" 10% of the French beer market is alcohol-free.

"The idea that the wine world was always as it is now, is rubbish," says oenologist Brochet . "Things evolve. Once upon a time the barrel was an innovation. The cork was an innovation; grape varietals were an innovation. And now this is a new one which could help save the industry and the wonderful landscape and culture that goes with it. "As [poet] Paul Valery said what is tradition, but an innovation that succeeded?".
