I recently received an email from Rebecca, a reader in Washington, who wanted to know the answer to a seemingly simple question; “Who put the cherry in my wine?” What Rebecca was really asking was, why doesn’t wine taste like grape juice? She went on to describe the wine she had at a dinner party a few nights before and it smelled and tasted like cherries, red berries and strawberries, “but not grapes.” And then came the inevitable follow-up question; “Do [the winemakers] really put all those different fruits in the wine?”
