Alcohol-free beers have their alcohol removed through vacuum distillation - the only reason it's not more expensive than beer is probably because there is no alcohol taxation on the product.
- dzhiurgis 5y agoAlcohol is super expensive in NZ, exactly due to alcohol tax. Right now 12pack of 330ml alcohol free Heineken goes for $23 NZD while alcoholic one is $22. I remember paying €5 ($8 NZD) for 20pack or so of cheap stuff in Netherlands. Cost to manufacture is negligible, really. Probably smallest part when looking at bottling and distribution.
