Wine is food.

[Peter Creasey]

Edward Behr, December "The Art of Eating" says...

Wine is food.

But as wine becomes more alcoholic, its role and meaning change. Up to now, wine has been a drink consumed in volume, no longer all day long but often enough over several hours on a social evening. Higher alcohol wine is less refreshing. You drink it more slowly, in smaller sips. At the table, water gains in importance. We're in danger of losing the sense of wine as food and as something to be consumed for the full sensual pleasure of it, without worrying about the effects of pouring another glass.

If only more wine growers and purveyors would listen!

Agreed, but let me play Devil's Advocate for you... what do you say to those growers who tell you that the grapes already have too much sugar before they are ripe?
