Life's too short for excessive compromise... maximize everything!

It's hard to indicte the highest amount of alcohol.  There are zinfandels as high as 17% and shiraz from Australia is hovering around the same mark.  I haven't seen any higher than that, but that doesn't mean that they don't exist.  Hope this helps.
