what is the alcohol level of wine?
This is because theres increasing concern about the trend of rising alcoholic levels. Table wines used to hover around the 12% mark: now its rare to find them below 13%, and wines with 14 or 14.5% alcohol are commonly encountered. And its not all that unusual to see wines tipping the scales at 15%. This feature takes a broad-perspective look at this topic, asking why it is that these rising alcohol levels are a concern, and then looking at what can be done about them.
