ARIEL is a pioneer in producing award winning de-alcoholized wines. Since the first commercial production in 1985, ARIEL has gained recognition from the world's leading wine critics and connoisseurs alike when their ARIEL Blanc wine was awarded the Gold Medal at the Los Angeles County Fair in 1986 in a blind tasting against wines with alcohol. Before this recognition, non-alcoholic wines were said to not have the same quality as alcoholic wines. However, ARIEL proved this notion untrue, and since then, they have gone on to win acclaim and numerous awards in competitions against alcoholic and non-alcoholic wines throughout the world. ARIEL has come a long way since its inception in 1985. ARIEL is now a division of J. Lohr Vineyards & Wines. Production has increased from 5,000 cases in its first vintage to over 120,000 cases available in 22 countries. Wines include Blanc, Chardonnay, White Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Brut Cuvee.
