Generally a high number is better, but it depends.
The goodness of red wine is not determined solely by the degree of alcohol, although there is no direct relationship between the two, but if you do not know how to choose, it is recommended to choose a high number of red wine will be better.
Mainly because the degree of alcohol and red wine in the maturity of the grapes has a very important connection, the sweeter the grapes out of the wine degree is high, and alcohol on the hanging degree as well as the body of the wine has a certain impact, so in general, a high number of red wine taste more mellow, the flavor will be more full. But if you want to pick a quality red wine, not only the alcohol content, but also the tannins, sweetness, body richness, complexity and aftertaste and other factors.
Introduction of Red Wine Degrees
While the degree of red wine has a certain relationship with the quality of red wine, it is not the higher the degree, the better, the brewing of red wine is based on fresh grapes or grape juice as raw materials, after all or part of the fermentation.
And generally made after the red wine alcohol content is equal to or greater than 7.0%, so the alcohol content of the wine between 7 degrees to 16.2 degrees, if the alcohol content is more than 16.2 degrees, the yeast will be inactivated, stop activity. And the taste of red wine at this time will also receive a certain impact, so it is not necessarily the higher the degree of red wine the better.
