I’m not sure if this is a stupid Republican idea, but that’s because I’m not really certain of anything about it, so I’ll just leave it here. [![](https://i.imgflip.com/73vena.jpg) ](https://i.imgflip.com/73vena.jpg) ---

I used to pair appropriate wines with courses for some high end caterers.

So in reading the reviews of Nunes new “vintages” my jaw fell open. > > This news story isn’t getting a lot of press for some reason. [PolitiZoom picked up on on it and the writer there](https://politizoom.com/devin-nunes-is-a-vintner-now-heres-his-xmas-special/)is as horrified as I am. Now before you read what she said, let me tell you about glycerine in wine. Glycerine is a chemical additive, added to wine “to sweeten, add body, and smooth and mellow wine and liqueurs.” This is not how fine wine is made, I guarantee. This is rotgut.

I’m not buying that and I’m not drinking that. If anyone gifts me some of that, I might break off the relationship. Here is what I find when I google ingesting glycerin: “When ingested, vegetable glycerin **may cause headaches, dizziness, nausea, vomiting and excessive thirst** in some people (13). Since glycerin is a form of sugar alcohol that your body cannot fully absorb, consuming too much — either alone or through foods — may also lead to gas and diarrhea.” However, on the good side, glycerin does make a great vaginal lubricant. sigh, I fucking had Thanksgiving with people who will buy this shit. ---

I’m not a wine drinker; I don’t know anything about wine. What is the deal with glycerine? Is that a normal additive or by-product and Trump’s just has a high level? Or is this some sort of ‘kangaroo meat as beef’ type deal? ---

> [@Jack\_Batty](#): > > What is the deal with glycerine? Is that a normal additive or by-product and Trump’s just has a high level? Or is this some sort of ‘kangaroo meat as beef’ type deal? I’d never heard of using it before, and I would have sworn that none of the wineries I patronize use it. But I looked it up and find it is surprisingly common. It’s designated a “finishing formula”, and is said to add body and sweetness. It sounds not entirely kosher, and I hope my wineries aren’t using this. Some glycerol is evidently created by fermentation of the juice, but this feels as wrong as adding sugar to the wine – you wouldn’t think a respectable vintner would stoop to it. This site claims that it’s illegal to add it to commercial wines as regulated by the Tax and Trade Bureau: > **[Is there glycerol in wine?](https://www.winespectator.com/articles/is-there-glycerol-in-wine)** > > Wine Spectator's expert Dr. Vinny explains what glycerol is and how it's beneficial to wine.
