Sugars in wine

Time for the grape harvest. One can ask if isn't it too early, but the vineyard calendar seems to be constantly changing and challenging for wine producers. The grape harvest I'm talking about is what we call "sofralık" in Turkish, literally meaning "for the table," for the grapes that are not meant to end in bottles, but to be eaten out of hand as fresh fruit.

Wine producers in Bulgaria will be allowed to add sugar to boost the level of alcohol, according to Krasimir Koev, Director of the Executive Agency on Vine and Wine (EAVW).

The EAVW has authorized the measure in response to a request to local wine producers.
