In this episode of IntoWineTV, host Lisa Kolenda and wine panelists Bartholomew Broadbent, Michael Cervin, and Richard Jennings discuss the controversial topic of rising wine alcohol levels.
Interesting topic, but I gotta tell you that I would rather drink a 16% alcohol wine made with no additives than drinking a 12.5% mass-produced conventional wine that is full of yeast, enzymes, chemicals, sulfur etc. So, I don't think that just because a wine is 12.5% versus 16% doesn't alone make it a healthier wine.
This being said, I get the points being made and 95% of the wine I drink is less than 13% alcohol making it easier to pair with food, drink and get over the next day.
