Yes, the process of freezing the water out of a alcoholic beverage is called recrystallization. The process is done by freezing the substance until the water is frozen, being careful of this, since water does freeze at a higher temperature than most alcohols. Once that is done you simply remove the liquid that is left.

other way around, to remove alcohol you distill (boil). freeze an alcohol and what you are actually doing is freezing the water in the drink, thus increasing the potency of the remaining liquid.

that's why we don't freeze vodka.

if you mean can you freeze everything else and simply pour the alcohol out, it dosent tend to be done like that. alcohol will get caught in the ice crystal and alcohol and water are not the only ingredients in wine.

an interesing hypothetical but i wouldn't risk quality wine testing. just buy non-alcoholic if you want to drink wine without alcohol.

The water freezes first ... so the percent alcohol goes up.

(If you thaw it before use, nothing changes.)

Yes, in theory you can, it is a rather difficult, expensive and long-lasting process though.
