A distilled spirit, typically brandy, is added to wine to make it fortified, raising its alcohol content above that of ordinary wine. The wine\'s flavor profile is frequently changed by this fortification procedure, which also makes the wine richer and more complex. Antioxidants like resveratrol, which are associated with heart health and may lower the risk of certain diseases, are found in fortified wines, particularly those produced from red grapes. Consumers who are wealthier can experiment with more upscale and opulent alcoholic beverages, such as fortified wines.
