Understanding Tannin

You’re an aspiring chemist and you want/need to make some Wood, Worm or Grain spirits in an alembic. Surfing through the wiki you read that you need wine with high tannin. You’ve got your grapes; you load them into the barrel and wait. Periodically you siphon off a sample and check the tannin level. Unfortunately the levels are not going up very fast. Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to predict which grapes will give the most tannin. Well now we can. As it turns out tannin is developed in wine from three characteristics, colour (C), skin (K) and patience (time). In fact the formula is relatively straight forward.
