Acidity-
I can imagine anyone reading this has a basic concept at least of what this refers to in general. With wine acidity plays a part in red and white wines. For reds it helps with balance, whites it imparts the crisp fresh aspect of the wine. If you do not have that "right amount" of acidity wines are unbalanced and makes them not the most desirable to drink. Acidity balanced nicely with the fruit and a number of other components of the wine be it red or white making the moment of drinking a wonderful, delightful and most enjoyable experience.

Yes, but what exactly is Acidity?
ReplyDeleteThough this describes how acidity functions in the overall structure of a wine, how would someone new to wine be able to identify Acidity as opposed to something else?
Any examples to try for comparison?
Excellent comment. Thank you. We will be building on each of our glossary terms over time. We are coming from providing a general statement and will go back and provide more detail. Please continue to comment when you are so motivated. Thanks again
