Ever take a sip of a bold red and feel that dry, velvety pucker on your cheeks and tongue? That’s not bitterness. That’s the magic of tannins. 🍷
Think of tannins as the skeleton of a wine. They’re natural compounds extracted from grape skins, seeds, and stems during winemaking, plus the toasted oak barrels where the wine ages. Since reds ferment with their skins on, they carry far more tannins than whites.
