00 Wine??

Anybody here heard of 00 wine? I recently got a request from someone who wanted to know if anybody in NM made 00 wine or knew any shops the carried 00 wine.
I assumed she meant 0% alcohol & made some suggestions. But...nope... wrongo/dongo.

00 wine is a subcategory of natural wines in which nothing is added/nothing is taken away. I could not find any natural wine that identifies on the label that theirs is a 00 wine. I guess you have to query the natural winemaker if it's a 00 wine. It sounds to me like another way to scam wine drinkers. But, then, if you're already buying natural wines, then you're already buying into a bit of a scam.

Ystrday I queried several wine people. They had no clue what a 00 wine was or if they had any on the shelves.
So now you know the rest of the story.
00 wines... the next big thing.

Never heard of it and frankly think that’s a good thing.

I ran that article through Google Translate and here's what it gave me:

FFS, I'm on deadline and I have no idea what to write about. Are there any new wine trends? Do I know anyone who likes to make stuff up? What was the thing that somm in Denver told me about after those Fernet shots, what was it, double-oh-seven? vino doppio zero? Oh, right, "zero-zero" wine. Okay, I'll text him. Now I'll add some words like "often" and "popular" and "commonly," because I work for a publication that doesn't fact-check a damn thing. Cool. Done. Maybe I'll get a few hits if that guy from New Mexico ever takes the bait.

Hope this helps. AI is pretty amazing.

I have a few Oregon wines from 00 Wines, but they're not really nstty!

I have one, too, Dale, a '17 VGW.

Are you sure they weren't looking for the brand? Here's a list from CT:

I have found many 'natural' wines to be insipid. Rather than drinking dull boring wines I think I'll stick with those made be people willing to adjust a few things to optimize their wines.

Met a lady once who was way over the top on being 'natural'. Turned out to be the usual hypocrite - turned out she had had a lot of modern medical help and surgeries to optimize her health and appearance. Told her that if she really believed the BS she was spouting she would be 'naturally' dead.

A new wine bar featuring natural wines just opened in Bellingham, like this weekend. Not going to rush over. It will attract the Birkenstock crowd who have no idea what is or isn't a natural wine, and who won't mind weird phenolics.
