Wine 101: Tannin - The Backbone of Red Wine

  • East Lawrence Wine Academy & Tasting Room 801 Pennsylvania St Lawrence, KS 66044 (map)

Why does red wine sometimes stain my teeth? Why is this wine ‘chewy’? Why does red wine age? Why do we put wine in oak barrels? The answer to all of these questions, at least in part, is because of tannin. Learn what tannin is, where it comes from, and why it is important in wine making. We will taste a range of wines with varying amounts of tannin as we explore this crucial and important structural element in wine.
