Too much of a good thing

Article Abstract:

A debate on the question of how ripe the grape and how high the alcohol level should be, is presented because the consumers in the United States and abroad prefer riper, more powerful wines. Arguments suggest that it is misguided to focus on alcohol as an absolute number because it could be counterintuitive, and higher level of alcohol does not necessarily make a wine taste or smell more alcoholic.
