Provence & Côte D’azur — Wine, Terroir & Culinary Traditions
Confusing vin cuit with fortified wines (port, sherry)—it is produced by a completely different method. Heating the must too aggressively, which caramelises unevenly and produces bitter notes. Using stainless steel instead of copper for the reduction, missing the essential copper-Maillard interaction. Drinking too young (under 3 years), when the wine is crudely sweet and lacks the complexity of ageing. Serving in large glasses at room temperature instead of cool, in small portions.
