And also, they "bleed" the wine. Meaning, producers, after the first smashing of the grapes, in the begnning of the alcool fermentation, take 20% of the grape juice out. This tecnique improves concentration a lot: color, density, aromas, etc... (curiosity - the part that is thrown away goes to make roses)
As a rule of thumb, high alcohol content is a good indicator of the body of wine. But sometimes it may be misleading. Full bodied Lagrein can have any percentage from 13 to 14,5. On the other hand great rioja like Martelo, Ardanza, alberdi all have 14,5 % but they are medium bodied and elegant.

Ah yes! NEBBIOLO! The one that breaks the logic test! Tannin... like all things wine is quite complicated! Nebbiolo has lots of tannin and it does have lots of color during the winemaking process, but the type of anthocyanin it has doesn't "stick" in the wine like other types of anthocyanins. So, it "falls" out. That's the simplest way I can think of describing it, but I'm sure I butchered it a bit.
I've been hoping to purchase on of the Wine Folly glasses pictured in the video with the pour lines but I cannot seem to come across them on your website. Is it still possible to buy these glasses?
I think Petite Sirah is a very underrated wine.
our favorite Petite Sirah is from Stags' Leap, especially the Ne Cede Malis
Thanks for sharing your favorite!
There are some stunning but big Durifs made in the Glenrowan and Rutherglen regions in Australia
Tasting the wood was spectacular. I admire your courage ❤
I'll point out one more....Cynthiana/Norton/Virginia Seedling. It's basically opaque, and will absolutely stain your teeth purple !
Wow, fascinating. I wonder how it would do on a tannin test. This is great. More of these should be known!
@@Winefolly softer tannins
loving the log. Hemlock would be better, but that was good. OMG "wood is good"
Turley Paso Robles Petite Syrah is pretty amazing too.
Thanks for throwing down your favorite!

so true! Wine is complex. :)
Maybe it’s my Apple displays but the Petite Syrah in the video looked Ruby 😮
Yeah, hard to get the colorgrade right on those shots.
Alicante Bouschet is one of the darkest red wines. The grape has red flesh as well as red skkn.
What a great addition!
you left out the saperavi grape georgian wine eg papari valley saperavi ====== its like ink or blood
Oh great call! I'd love to see the polyphenol levels on that one. I haven't seen a study for Sap yet. I'll keep my eyes peeled.

so if tannins more or less equate to color, why is nebbiolo highly tannic but so pale in color compared to these other big reds?
The polyphenol Anthrocyanin is responsible for the deep red color. This PP is found in skins, seeds and stems where tannin also comes from.

Oh, we discontinued the lines because people were complaining about them. But we could bring 'em back! You're the first to ask!
@@Winefolly Interesting, I like the pour lines and would love to see these offered. I'd be first in line.
Lol 🥰
....and, unlike their name, Tannins don't help you tan.
damn, I've been doing it all wrong.
