Even though that guy knew what he was talking about, he sounds like a total douche. I wonder if it's even possible to review wine without sounding like a total douche.

If you have enough doubts about your partner that u wear a condom for a blowjob, it seems that it would be wise to reconsider your choice in partners lol.

Low alcohol wines still come in at 10 to 12% ABV, more than enough to leave you lying in a pool of vomit if that's your goal.

Complete non-issue.

"Low alcohol" wine? It wasn't too long ago that the standard for wine was 12%. That Berger Gruner is 12.5 if I remember right - but a far better bottle is Lenz Moser that comes in at 11.5. WInes much above 15% are a perversion and that trend is increasing.

This is as stupid as high-alcohol beers and wines, and decaffeinated coffee. Actually, it goes beyond that, because those at least are straightforward food preparation without chemical processing. The low-alcohol wines are processing to ferment and then further processing to remove the product of the fermentation. It's further processing food and then selling us that the processing itself is a good thing.

If you don't want a fermented drink, then there are plenty, including juice without any processing at all. Heck, if you want juice with some wine dregs mixed in (but no alcohol) I'd be glad to bottle a little squirt of dregs and sell it to you for $20 to mix with your juice.

Here's an interesting article.
 
2012-05-06 10:54:37 AM
Subby: After scanning the article, I didn't see specific mentions of alcohol content of the so called "low alcohol" wines, so I'm assuming they mean "low" in comparison to a big red at 14-15% abv. Most of the wines they're referring to are usually 8-11% . . . . anything much lower than that would likely be REALLY sweet, since sugar content decreases as alcohol content goes up.

This. Even moscato d'asti at 5.5% ABV is still stronger than Budweiser at 5%.

Some of the Belgian ales and Imperial Stouts are going to be stronger. I don't think it's a marketing thing like, "Hey, this will get you f*cked up!"

They're usually more expensive than most beers and are sold on their quality and taste rather than their alcohol content.

Then again, there are probably some microbreweries selling on the whole high alcohol content angle.

I should probably go back to bed...

This is true, moreso in reds going the bigger flavor thus growing grapes to a riper finish and higher brix and naturally higher alcohol.
Two bad effects are an actual loss in quality as alcohol dominates the palate and the fact you can drink as much 16% alcohol wine as 12%.

I agree, on both. Yes, there are some products that happen to be higher, or happen to have more or less of other ingredients. Completely different from further processing.

I feel the same way about hot dogs and other heavily processed food, BTW.

I don't really have a problem with this. I drink wine for the taste. If I want to get farked up, I drink whiskey.

AbbeySomeone: Dear subby -

It's not like the author is going for the fine wine angle, either:

Three things we love about this Gruner? 1) It's a liter bottle, so you're getting 25 percent more wine per bottle. 2) It has an irreverent "crown cap" or " Coke bottle cap" (problematic only if you don't finish it in one go). 3) The taste is simple, mild and crisp, making it a very refreshing spring wine. 86 points.

These are "fun wines". Refreshing, easy to drink, and won't get you (too) tanked. See Sofia Coppola's sparkling wine in a can, complete with straw:

media.tumblr.com

What I don't see is what the ABV percentages are on any of these wines. My guess is that they are still in the double digits and a bottle will get you wasted faster than a six pack of Rolling Rock. Subby is just trolling for posts.
