Hey everyone! In case you haven't noticed, this is a new community focused on NonPolitical Comics (NPCs), which essentially means no gloom and doom of the day stuff.

If you like the idea, help out by posting a comic that you enjoy for us to share!

The EC-118 yeast I use to make my wine has a tolerance threshold of 18% and there are a good number of wine yeasts with tolerances in the 16-18% range. There are even some specialty turbo yeasts that can tolerate as high as 18-20% apparently, although I haven’t had experience with them. If you want to get pedantic about it, I’d say wine is at most 20% ABV. Anything higher is either fortified or distilled.

That's interesting, it must be a recent thing with some sort of bioengineering because I'm pretty sure that didn't exist ten years ago

In my option, any wine above 14% starts to lose its balance and subtlety, but if someone's just drinking to get drunk then I guess a high ABV is more efficient than a well-rounded wine
