Most wines benefit form the addition of tannins, provided that the treatment is carried out at an appropriate time.

Tannins are natural substances originating from plants, and produced by extraction from various botanical species using hot water, steam, alcohol or other solvents.

Chemically, tannins can be divided into 2 major groups:

1. Condensed tannins (proanthocyanidins) - tannins from grapes
2. Hydrolyzable tannins - tannins from plants other than grapes
