<< review queue entry 58813 - submitted by 'emil' >> https://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.1.N5kLOG&id=41322523195&cm_id=140105335569ed55e27b&abbucket=3 Editor: Reconsidering this submission. Despite the label on the beer can at your link, the contents are not alcohol free. The following website indicates that Yanjing "alcoholfree beer" contains 0.5% ABV. http://www.ratebeer.com/brewers/beijing-yanjing-brewery-co/2244/ According to US standards, there is a distinction between "non-alcoholic" and "alcohol free": "The term 'non-alcoholic' may be used on malt beverages, provided the statement "contains less than 0.5 percent (or .5%) alcohol by volume" appears in direct conjunction with it. The term 'alcohol free' may be used only on malt beverages containing no alcohol." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-alcoholic_beverage Also, the following statement on the Web provides further evidence that 无醇啤酒 isn't "alcohol-free", as the characters 無 & 醇 would suggest. 无醇啤酒是啤酒家族中的一个新成员，属于低度啤酒。目前国际上普遍认为，酒精含量在0．5％(v／v)以下可称为无醇啤酒。 In that light, I think we can accept 無醇啤酒 as not being a construct, but it doesn't mean "alcohol-free beer". I see there *are* alcohol-free beer-taste beverages. For example, https://japanbeer.wordpress.com/2012/03/04/asahi-dry-zero-dont-blink-or-you-may-mistake-the-can/ |
