Renowned winemaker, Johannes Leitz, of the Weingut Leitz in Rudesheim Germany started bottling Eins Zwei Zero back in 2007 after a request from Norwegian chef, Odd Ivar Solvold, who needed a good non-alcoholic wine to match his cuisine.
The name is play on a play on words. Eins Zwei Dry is the name of the flagship Leitz Riesling, and it sounds just like counting to three in German. Thus, the zero-proof line is counting One Two Zero. See what they did there? Gut.
Rudesheim, Rheingau, Germany: Gentle hills, secluded valleys, an ideal climate and the modern management of our vineyards - these are the foundations of the high-quality grapes that Weingut Leitz uses for the base wines of their alcohol-free products. They work from the vine to the full bottle and use the same care to produce the base wines for the non-alcoholic products as they do for their winery wines and these qualities are perfectly integrated into the range.
