Is Austrian Riesling too high in alcohol?
[Hers are 12.5%] No Austria is one of the best places for Riesling in the world. Rising alcohol is not a problem of global warming; it is a problem of wine journalists who give high scores to high alcohol wines. Customers are always asking me for low alcohol wines because they want to be fresh after a bottle. Have a bottle of 14.5% alcohol wine and you’re dead! Well, not you because you are young, but me, I’d be dead! As a side note, Christine told me she doesn’t say “cheese” for photos; she says Riesling!
