Tannin, Body & Alcohol: Why Reds Feel Different with John Tato - Wine Junction Shop & Bar

This class builds upon the acid and sweetness class, and explores the structural elements that give red wines their weight, texture, and power. You’ll taste a progression of wines that highlight how tannins create grip, how body influences mouthfeel, and how alcohol contributes warmth and intensity. We’ll break down where these elements come from and how they interact to shape the overall experience of a wine. Guests will leave with a clearer understanding of why some reds feel light and elegant while others feel bold and robust.
