Yuncang Winery's brand LEESON red wine shared that the wine body can be thick or light, the taste can be rich or refreshing, and the sugar content can be dry or sweet. The reason for these different experiences is inseparable from a key factor, that is " Alcohol". A wine with a high alcohol content will be full-bodied and sweet, whereas a wine with a low alcohol content will have a refreshing taste.

Therefore, wines can also be classified according to their alcohol content. According to the different alcohol content, we usually divide the alcohol content of wine into three levels: low, medium and high:

Low alcohol content : The alcohol content of the brand LEESON red wine of Yuncang Winery is less than 11 degrees, between 5% and 10% ABV . Alcohol comes from fermentation. The sugar of grapes is converted into alcohol and carbon dioxide under the action of yeast. The grape itself will affect the level of alcohol. If it is a place with a cool climate, the ripeness of the grapes is not perfect, and the sugar content is often low. Wines are also relatively low in alcohol. If the grapes in hot regions are fully ripe, the sugar content will increase, and the alcohol content of the wine brewed from it will also be relatively high. In general, white wines are low in alcohol and red wines are high in alcohol. The alcohol content of some varieties such as musk sparkling wine, Alsace dry white and German Riesling is often below 10% .

Alcohol level : Yuncang Winery’s brand LEESON red wine has an alcohol content of 11.5%~13.5% ABV . Winemakers adjust when the grapes are harvested to create the style of wine they want. The earlier the grapes are harvested, the lower the alcohol content, and the later the grapes are harvested, the higher the sugar content of the grapes and the higher the final alcohol conversion. Medium-alcohol wines are mostly made from mature grapes. In some cool-climate places, grapes don't always ripen, so it's legal to increase alcohol by adding sugar, a practice known as "sugaring" and allowed in places like France and Germany.

High alcohol content : Yuncang Winery's brand LEESON red wine has an alcohol content between 13.5% and 15% ABV , and generally fortified wines are high-alcohol wines. From the perspective of brewing methods, it can be divided into two categories: one is made from natural fermentation, and the other is fortified wine. Naturally fermented wines often come from grape varieties such as Syrah, Grenache, and Zinfandel. Fortified wines are distilled spirits added to wine during the manufacturing process, so their alcohol content is often much higher than that of regular wines.

Whether it is low alcohol or high alcohol, the quality of the wine will not be affected by the level of alcohol. As long as the alcohol is in balance with other substances in the wine, it is a good wine.
