About
Alicante Bouschet is a wine grape variety that has been widely cultivated since 1866. It is a cross of Petit Bouschet (itself a cross of the very old variety teinturier Cher and Aramon) and Grenache. Alicante is a teinturier , a grape with red flesh. It is one of the few teinturier grapes that belong to the Vitis Vinifera species. Its deep colour makes it useful for blending with light red wine. It was planted heavily during prohibition in California for export to the East Coast. Its thick skin made it resistant to rot during the transportation process. The intense red color was also helpful for stretching the wine during prohibition, as it could be diluted without detracting from the appearance.
