Non-alcoholic gin – HEXAGONE Gin Virgin 0.0%

Non-alcoholic gin is generally made from:

distilled waters or infused with botanicals (aromatic plants),
natural flavors such as juniper, coriander, lemon, rosemary or ginger.
Some producers use cold distillation or specific extraction processes to preserve the aromas without adding ethanol. The result: an aromatic, complex drink, but less than 0.5% alcohol (and often 0.0%), which reproduces the taste experience of gin, without the intoxication.

The answer is yes, but it depends on the brand. Most alcohol-free gins are 0.0% alcohol, but some products can contain up to 0.5% vol., while still being legally classified as "alcohol-free." It's therefore important to read the label carefully.

📜 What does the law say?
In France and Europe, a drink can be marketed as "alcohol-free" if it contains less than 1.2% vol. of alcohol.
However, the majority of serious non-alcoholic spirits (like alternative gins) are:

or 0.0%: without any trace of ethanol
or < 0.5%: a tiny quantity, with no physiological effect
👉 This is equivalent to the natural alcohol content of fermented fruit juice or kombucha.

🧪 Why is there sometimes a little alcohol?
It depends on the manufacturing process:

Some brands start with an alcoholic gin, then dealcoholize it (like a non-alcoholic wine).
Others use cold distillations, infusions or plant extracts without ever using alcohol.
Bottom line: In any case, non-alcoholic gins are harmless to health and have no intoxicating effect.

✅ In summary
Alcohol-free gin = 0.0% to <0.5% vol.
No psychotropic effects, even if you drink several glasses
Suitable for most alcohol-free diets (except for very strict religious exceptions)
Perfect for pregnant women, athletes or abstainers
Michellot's Council
Although De Michellot now focuses on alcoholic spirits, we support free, responsible, and conscious consumption. Alcohol-free gin is a modern alternative that preserves taste, rituals, and pleasure—without the constraints of ethanol.
