Red Wine, Explained: Tannin, Body & Alcohol

Looking for a fun night out with friends, a unique date night, or a chance to meet new people? Join us at Wine Junction in McLean for a relaxed, approachable wine class featuring a guided tasting of red wines and light bites.

Ever wonder why one red wine feels silky and smooth while another leaves your mouth dry? Or why some reds feel light and easy while others are big, bold and powerful?

It comes down to three things: tannin, body and alcohol.

During this guided tasting, you’ll sample a lineup of reds selected to highlight each element, learn how to recognize what you’re tasting, and discover more about the styles of wine you actually enjoy.

No wine expertise required—just come ready to taste, learn and have a good time.
