This Israelian Winery Has Just Proved That You Can Turn Water Into Wine

This winery has just essentially proved that you can indeed turn water into wine by rolling out their new product.

O.Vine is a “wine water” produced at Golan Heights Winery, which sits among the Galilee Mountains just outside of the city of Katzrin, in Israel. The winery is actually the third-largest in the whole country, and it describes O.Vine as a “water with the memory of wine.” Just like a person retains good sensations from a pleasant experience, O.Vine has all the good properties of wine, such as its taste and its natural antioxidants, but not its calories and preservatives. And of course, none of the alcohol.

O.Vine differs from “simple” non-alcoholic wine because of the process with which it’s made – “wine water” is made by infusing water with grape skins and seeds that are left over after the traditional winemaking process, after which they’re normally thrown away. As of right now, it’s the first of its kind in the world, and Golan Heights Winery proudly describes it as “a magical hybrid of two of mankind’s oldest drinks.”
