Specifically, red wines with 12.5% ABV (alcohol by volume) or less. Given our less-than-perfect climate, Canada (especially Ontario) is home to a lot of good light reds. I chose to go with an Ontario wine - the Konzelmann Estate Pinot Noir (VQA - 2004 vintage).

Also a bit different was the theme that attracted WBW’s most devoted participants and left other regulars on the sidelines.

I’ve been to 5 wine stores so far and found more than I expected to choose from but only settled on two selections thus far. I think a visit to the wine SWAT team at Solo Vino might be my final stop this evening. Just pick up any red wine (and not rose) that is 12.5% ABV or less, taste it and blog away.

Both of these wines and several like them from their respective regions are at 12.5%. Reds in the summer over 12.5% seem very heavy to me.

Thu, 08 Jun 2006 20:54:40 +0000 http://winecast.net/?p=384#comment-37872 [...] I would usually wait until early next week for a reminder that June 14th is Wine Blogging Wednesday. My early post is due to the level of difficulty of finding a red wine - a true red, not rosé - that is 12.5% ABV or less. While there are a few out there even from California that come in just under the wire, most entries will be from cooler appellations like Germany, France’s Alsace region or every Austria (Beau?!). You could, of course, raid your cellar for some older vintages of Bordeaux or even some California Cab’s. If you want some inspiration, you can check out the first two entries posted a week early that include an Aussie Shiraz!

But as luck would have it my parents brought back some interesting looking reds from Germany the other day. As I think all three are 12/12.5 % I might just have to submit three wines for this round!

Modern methods of winemaking have pushed the envelope on high alcohol wines. Some point the finger at wine critics, whose palates favor concentrated ripe fruit flavors that are the result of leaving fruit on the vine longer than the traditional period. Because the sugar levels in the grapes hit higher levels at harvest, during fermentation, these sugars are converted into alcohol. If the wines aren’t balanced with the right acidity, the alcohol level is considerably high and very noticeable. Most wines nowadays are easily in the 15% range. Tim is putting out the call to find red wines that don’t exceed a 12.5% ABV. I might have to leave California for this one.
