Wine Koolaid :-p


At a recent trade tasting I saw a proliferation of "sweet reds." These are cheesy, disgusting, unswillable wines that might be perfect for teenagers, if teenagers could legally drink. The interesting truth is that when surveyed across America, wine drinkers prefer sweet wines by almost two to one, including sweet reds! But this is not what they need. These residual sugar levels are so high that the so-called "wines" are diabetes bombs. The wines are selling out immediately and so I predict we will see many more of them come to market. But I hope they settle the sugar levels down to a healthier, more-reasonable level. Wow--it was painful to drink them, and I happen to LOVE sweet white wines . . .
