Does wine also have different types of astringency?

Hmmm not sure. How is astringency measured? Or would that be stringency perhaps? What is a stringency? How do Franzia Chillable Red stack up? MD

I guess "stringent" and "astringent" are related. Tho' that relationship is not discussed, what do people make of the Dictionary at

Dont think I seen that one before. Have you tried Wikki? They are purty kooky left wingers but have accurate info on some stuff which do not involve the Religion of Evolutionsism..*** marriage..abortion etc. Sure they have wine factoids most likely.

Stringent: Strict, logical Astringent: Puckering, contracting agent/chemical compund - in wine usually tannins Anders
