Winemakers Might Be Lying About How Drunk You're Going To Get

Wait a second, WHAT? “The Wines of The Times column last Wednesday, about Sonoma zinfandels, misstated the provision of the federal labeling law on alcohol content. Wines listing an alcohol content of 14 percent or less by volume are permitted a 1.5 percentage-point margin of error, as long as the actual content does not exceed 14 percent, and wines listing an alcohol content above 14 percent are permitted a 1 percentage-point margin of error, as long as the actual content is more than 14 percent.” I am exactly the kind of drunk who buys his wine based on alcohol content. This is incredibly disturbing.
