As the trade agreement between the USA and the EU approaches completion, Ulrich Sauter demands again (and again unsuccessfully) an obligation to label fractionated wines. In fractionated wines, the alcohol and flavour contents are separated and then put back together in altered proportions. For wine testers, it's going to get trickier in the future. "Under normal conditions, when tasting an unknown wine of dark colour, the smell of black current jam, a high alcohol content and tannins that rough up the gums would indicate a Cabernet Sauvignon from a warm climate zone. If one were to have a wine with a similar bouquet and colour, but less alcoholic and friendlier on the gums, the sensory impressions would give a contradictory impression: the bouquet would suggest a Cabernet from a warm climate, but such wines cannot have a low alcohol content."
