Answers.Text: Since it's 17% alcohol you need to treat it like regular wine. If it was the same strength as Port, you could enjoy it over an extended period, but it would need to be over 20% alcohol. I suspect it is a stupidly heavy red wine with some port like flavors. There are plenty of Napa cabs out there clocking in at 17% that probably taste similar.

  I've got [this Cooper and Thief bottle](https://www.cooperandthief.com/). From the label, it is a blend of red wines aged in Bourbon barrils. However, unlike red wine, it is 17% alcohol.
