The Importance of Lower Alcohol in Wine

I find that when I am talking to just your average wine drinker, they don't necessarily know or appreciate that there are varying degrees. Most people do not notice alcohol stated on the bottle. If it says 14% on the label by law, it can be as high as 15 and a half percent and still be legal. The only way we're going to know exactly how much alcohol is in it is to lab test it. We also lab test for sugar and other components of toxicity.
