The term 'acidic' in wine terminology is often misunderstood and inaccurately interchanged with descriptors like 'dry' or 'tannic.' This confusion can impact one’s wine tasting experience.
The acidity level in grapes can vary significantly; grapes harvested earlier in the season tend to be more acidic and less sweet, affecting the overall profile of the wine.
A wine's acidity can usually be sensed from the first sip, as good acidity will often make your mouth salivate, while balanced acidity contributes to a bright and refreshing taste.
While white wines are generally recognized for their higher acidity, certain red wines also exhibit distinct acidity levels, revealing the complex characteristics within both wine categories.
