Alcohol Level in Wines

Wine starts at 7% and go to 17% and higher in alcohol level. 13-14 more full body. Light body wines with light

Vintners are leaving grapes on the wine longer to get a bigger alcohol. Controversal reason, wines with alcohol level that are higher usually get higher wines.

Varietel character is lost if you push the wine level up. Just because a wine has a higher alcohol doesn’t make it better, but some people like it better.
