To get technical with the terms, it would actually be incorrect to use the term 'Halal' and 'Wine'together. This is because, technically speaking, wine must be made from fermented fruit juices, whereas, for the drink to be considered Halal, the fermentation process is forbidden.
Halal Wines are actually superior grape juices. They are made from high quality wine grapes - wines cannot be made from just any grape varietal. Only 30 - 40% of all grape types are suitable for wine-making and used in the production of superior grape juices. This juices are not fermented, allowing them to be certified Halal.
Not all non-alcoholic wines are certified Halal, however. These Non-Alcoholic wines are made using wines which go through the regular fermentation process. The alcohol is then removed using a reverse osmosis process. This is where the liquid is chilled down to a very low temperature and passed through filters. However, only 99.5% of the alcohol content can be removed using this method. Therefore, non-alcoholic wines made this way cannot be certified Halal.
Why drink non-alcoholic wines you ask? Well, you will still benefit from the good effects of wine, like anti-oxidants and resveratrol, which help prevent heart disease and lower cholesterol but without the bad side-effects of alcohol.
