I noticed a red in my latest case boasts this. It sounds a bit over the top to me and I'm wondering if I should swap it for something. Do they make decent wines this strong?

I know people who make their own wine to a similar strength (tulipe). Can't say I've ever come across a decent wine of such strength personally but the proof is in the drinking. -

Up 'til recently, the strongest wine you could get without fortification was 15%, because then the yeast gets killed and fermentation stops. Now they've got some new super yeasts - so 15.5 (and I think even 16) is possible. High alcohol comes from a high sugar content in the grape and usually makes for a nice smooth easy drinking wine, and thumping hangover...Comment
