Wine Proxy

Proxy wines are not dealcoholized wines – and don't want to be seen as wine. They are independent compositions: inspired by wine, but reimagined. Creation instead of withdrawal.

Their complexity arises from fermentation or distillation – sometimes through kombucha or lacto-fermentation, sometimes based on water kefir or other controlled microbial processes. Added to this are tea infusions, juices, fruit extracts, herbs, or spices, which combine like building blocks to create multi-layered structures. The result: a beverage that, in structure, depth, and aroma, is reminiscent of wine – often entirely without grapes.

The focus is on acidity, texture, tannins, and length, supported by a fine balance and controlled sweetness. The best proxy wines can do what great wines can: accompany food, unlock aromas, stimulate – and tell their own story.
A category for the curious.

OUR PERSPECTIVE

Michael is still at the beginning – and above all, he's one of the first in Austria to venture into a direction few have dared to explore with his beverages. VIREO is based on fermented green tea, with numerous macerates (lots of chamomile, hops (Michael is actually a brewer), lemon verbena, and pine needles). Various peppercorns create a spicy finish, less so the heat. Both roasted and unroasted wood are used (oak, cherry, and plum). Michael himself connects Austria with his roots in South Tyrol, which he expresses through his Proxies.
