Bible Note: I live in the winemaking region of South Africa. I emailed the winemaker at one of our local wineries and here is the content of her reply. Dear Sir Thank you for your enquiry. The first person is correct - you can make a wine with an alcohol level of max 15 from natural grapes without adding sugar or alcohol, but it will be quite dry. The natural sugar in the grapes are converted into alcohol in the natural fermentation process. Normally the yeast on the skins ferments very quickly if not cooled and it's not a very good type of yeast to go on, as it happens so quickly that all the processes don't finish and you might still sit with sugars in the wine. (It also smells bad!) That's why we add yeast to control the whole process better. It is also possible to make a reasonably good, sweet wine naturally, but the alcohol will be very low, as I explained - grape sugars turn into alcohol - so the higher the alcohol the lower the sugar content. The only way you'll be able to get high sugar and high alcohol will be if you add either of the two or both, as in Ports and Sherries. I hope this will help you. Kind regards Carina Visser Assitant to Winemaker From a professional wine maker I find that your contention that a strong wine cannot be made from just grapes is unsubstantiated. Teaching our children is the responsibility of every parent. Just like I teach them not to over-indulge in food (gluttony) I am also going to teach them the sin and danger of overindulging in wine (alcohol). At the same time I have no right to condemn what God has not condemned. I will follow Bible guidelines rather than the abstentionist views of many modern churches. In His Service Tim Sheasby |
