Which Wines Have Highest Alcohol Content?
The wines with the highest alcohol content are typically fortified wines such as sherry, port, and vermouth. These wines are made by adding brandy or similar spirits to the wine during the fermentation process, which increases the alcohol content to around 15-20%. However, some non-fortified wines such as Zinfandel, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon can also have high alcohol content, often exceeding 14%. This is due to factors such as the grape variety, climate, and winemaking techniques.
