Alcohol Adjustment 4-Pack |
 n 1810, Napolean Bonaparte instituted the suggestion of his physician Dr. Chaptal to adjust the alcohol content of the great Burgundies and Bordeaux wines by the addition of beet sugar. This permitted the vignerons to hang the grapes into the rainy season to obtain true flavor maturity without concern for the alcohol imbalance which dilution by rainwater would cause.New World wines have long been faced with the opposite problem – sufficient hangtime for flavor maturity results in our dry climes in high sugar musts and wines of too much alcohol – hot, bitter and unavailable to the palate. In 1992 I solved this problem by proposing a use of the new water purification filters the U,S, Navy had recently developed to create drinking water from seawater. When wine is pumped across these filters, no flavor or color goes through – only water and alcohol. The alcohol can then be distilled without harming the wine and the water returned to the wine.
