The Alcohol Debate - Wine and Food The current outcry against high alcohol wines has, at its center, the notion that these wines are simply not food friendly. Randy Dunn, of Dunn Vineyards, has written "Most wine drinkers do not really appreciate wines that are 15 -16 +% alcohol. They are, in fact, hot and very difficult to enjoy with a meal. About the only dish that seems to put them in their place is a good hot, spicy dish." Eric Asimov of The Pour has noted "Many Californians argue that nothing is wrong with high-alcohol wines so long as they are balanced. Nonsense. I like to drink wine with my meal, not sip it, and the more alcohol in the wine, the less I can drink.". Dan Berger of Vintage Experiences has penned "Meanwhile, I keep trying the 15% wines and can't get a single (small) glass down. Too hot. Too heavy. Not a wine to go with food. http://shirazshiraz.blogspot.com/2007/08/alcohol-debate-wine-and-food.html
