Process for preparing wine base for partial replacement of spirit in alcoholic beverages

摘要

The process of preparing a wine base as a partial substitute for alcohol in alcoholic beverages is based on the application of high surface active charcoal of plant origin for the removal of dyes and undesirable tastes and odors firstly as the primary source of the wine base. In the next step, bentonite is applied to this wine, without dyes and undesirable flavors and odors, and the resulting liquid is allowed to settle. After sedimentation, the coarse sludge is removed from the liquid by spinning. After centrifugation, KOH is then applied to this liquid to a level of 6.5 to 8.2 pH units or KHCO.sub.3 to a level of 6.5 to 8.2 pH units according to the desired taste properties of the future alcoholic beverage. This is followed by a very rapid spontaneous oxidation followed by filtration of the liquid to visible purity and addition of distillate (food alcohol) to the total level of min. 20% by volume alcohol.
