I can only imagine it would apply to "cough syrups" like Wild Irish Rose and Mad Dog. Is the 13% necessary? Can someone explain why and perhaps suggest a suitable wine to try. Thanks in advance.
The reason you should drink wine that is closer to the 13% is that the closer you get to that number the less sugar that is left in the wine sugar is need in the fermentation process. I have brew my own beer before and the more sugar that is added the stronger the beer will be when its finished. Grain Alcohol like Vodka, rum gin whiskey and my favorite Tequila have little or no sugar left.
