Alcohol content

Although the natural alcohol content of a wine is not really an indication of quality, it is a very important factor, when it comes to the level of ripeness for the grapes. In a very limited way, the alcohol content of a win may be increased, if it happens to be too low, due to natural circumstances. The actual alcoholic volume must be given in volume percentage (% vol) on the wine bottle label (= how many ml of alcohol are contained in 100 ml of wine).
