Alcohol Levels and Wine
Have the alcohol levels in wine gotten too high? And, just what is too high? It’s a controversial subject, and one with many opinions about its relevance in today’s wines. Some say it doesn’t matter at all – “it’s just a number.” Others counter that it takes away from the wine itself, and hastens inebriation. How and why has this become a factor, and does it really matter, or is this a tempest in a wine glass?
Join us as we talk with Bartholomew Broadbent about the steady increase in alcohol levels in wine – its causes and its effects.
