Aka Wain

So this is a Japanese wine that my friend brought from Japan -- my first Japanese wine. It's called "Aka Wain", which literally means red wine. It's made from Concord grapes. About $14. This particular kind was extremely sweet, and I emphasize, it was extremely sweet. It smelled like Welch's grape juice. Low in tannins, had almost no acidity, just like grape juice!! I don't know if I can even call this a dessert wine. It may even be sweeter than dessert... Interesting, but would not buy this particular kind.
