TANNINS TALK 2021 – WINE MAKER JIM JACOBSEN

TANNIN HEALTH BENEFITS
 

When you take a sip of a dry red wine, that sensational ‘mouth-feel’ comes from the grape’s naturally occurring tannic acid.

In the wine-making process, the grape juices are in contact with the tannin-rich grape skins for a longer period of time.

This is called “maceration” and the length of this process determines the tannic acid content in wine.

TANNINS ARE LOADED WITH HEALTH-PROMOTING ANTIOXIDANTS, AND THEY MAY EVEN BOOST THE HEALTH OF YOUR IMMUNE AND CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEMS.
