Same with alcohol-free beer and other drinks. Somehow they always cost considerably more than regular ones.
They don't make the drink and then pour in rubbing alcohol at the end.
Non-alcoholic versions of drinks cost at least as much to produce (many cost more because they're removing the alcohol at the end of the process), and they're way less popular, so the economies of scale makes the alcoholic versions cheaper per unit.
thing with that is that they actually have to produce those drinks normally and then remove the alcohol, so the process is actually more expensive and labor intensive. at least thats what i heard on the radio one day, im no expert.
You have to feed the yeast enough to make the beer which gets at least a few percent alcohol, otherwise you'd just have porridge.
