Product Information

With so many different drinks and glass sizes, from shots to pints – not to mention bottles – it's easy to get confused about how many units are in your drink. You can work out how many units there are in any drink by multiplying the total volume of a drink (in ml) by its ABV (measured as a percentage) and dividing the result by 1,000. The first product of its type in the world, Purewine received an Innovation Patent in 2010 and has sold over 1.5 million bottles worldwide. James used his knowledge of the winemaking process and re-applied that chemistry to create Purewine . The use of preservatives is an important part of producing wine of high quality. The preservatives most commonly used are generally referred to as sulphites (sulfites) and may come in various forms usually listed as preservative 220 or 224. The addition of Purewine converts these sulphites into harmless by-products called sulphates, essentially removing most of them from the wine. Most people assume wine is simply fermented grape juice with a few necessary preservatives, and if it’s on the shop shelf then it must have achieved certain health standards. After all we have these regulations in place to protect us from eating or drinlking harmful foods and beverages don’t we? Try drinking with a meal or eating a healthy dinner before you have drinks. This may help you eat less healthy options later in the evening.

It takes an average adult around an hour to process one unit of alcohol so that there's none left in their bloodstream, although this varies from person to person. And the more you drink, the longer it takes – so, six units of alcohol would take the average person six hours to process. One unit equals 10ml or 8g of pure alcohol, which is around the amount of alcohol the average adult can process in an hour. We hear plenty of reports about how two glasses of wine a day can give you cancer – that is precisely because these factory wines are full of chemical additives which are very harmful to your health. Sulphites have been “strongly linked” to causing cancer, have been requested to be banned by the Centre for Scientific Research in the Public Interest, and have been recommended to be phased out by the World Health Organisation. Plus anybody in remission for cancer is told to avoid all sulphites in their diet. According to Dr Phil Norrie (AKA The Wine Doctor), regular consumption of sulphite free wines on the other hand, due to their powerful antioxidants, can actually help prevent the likelihood of contracting cancer by as much as 50% and have a whole host of other health benefits. Our Wine Regularly having just one or two heavy drinking episodes a week will increase your risk of death from long-term illness and from accidents and injuries. 1

For example, a pint of strong lager contains 3 units of alcohol, whereas the same volume of lower-strength lager has just over 2 units. Finally the bottling stage – chances are the wine is poor quality as it has been made from cheap low grade fruit. It will be very low in natural antioxidants so will need extra preservatives added – yet more huge doses of sulphites. A lot of wine is bottled in the UK to save a few pence on transport so is brought over here in inflatable bladders inside tankers, much like oil. These bladders are permeable and let in the air so huge amounts of sulphites are added so the wine will withstand the journey.

Using units is a simpler way of representing a drink's alcohol content – usually expressed by the standard measure alcohol by volume (ABV). This is why alcohol contains lots of calories – 7 calories per gram, which is almost as many as a gram of fat. Plus, additional calories can be in added mixer drinks, such as cola or tonic water. Purewine has been invented and developed by winemaker James Pennington BSc BApp Sc to allow wine consumers to enjoy wine without preservatives. James spent his early years as a science teacher but always wanted to use this knowledge in a practical way. He began in the wine industry over 30 years ago, starting off developing vineyards and ending up as a qualified winemaker. During this time he became aware of the many problems that people had when enjoying a wine and set himself the task of finding a solution. It seems, though, that headaches , aggressive fatigue and next-day malaise can come along with any wine, regardless of quality. According to a 2017 Smithsonian article on the democratizing advancements in wine that have made prices comparable to that of bottled water, there are few differences between low and high-end wines that would be measurable to the average consumer. The only exception, however, is the presence of sulfites, often identified as the culprit behind all of wines’ negative side effects. So, what if I could just filter it out? Unfortunately that is not the case and wine is one of the most controversial of all food stuffs when it comes to additives – it is just about the only food or beverage on the market that doesn’t have to list it’s ingredients on the label – have you ever wondered why? The (EU) authorities explain it away by saying “it’s complicated”– wine production is huge business in the founding EU countries of course. But they don’t tell you the reason why it’s complicated – that somewhere around 60 different additives are permitted in mainstream wines and over 40 are now permitted in EU Certified Organic wines. If these factory produced wines stated their ingredients on the label the chances are the vast majority of people would never buy another bottle again.Have a glass of water after every alcoholic drink – this will help to prevent you becoming dehydrated.
