The Seasons of Coeur d'Alene Wine Word of the Week - Fortified Fortified wine is wine to which a neutral, high-proof grape spirit has been added, usually during or after fermentation. This process increases the alcohol content and, in the case of Port, leaves the wine sweet by stopping the yeast from consuming all the sugar.
