Dictionary meaning for Tannin [Teh-nehn]

1. "Tannins can be described as leaving a dry and puckered feeling with a "furriness" in the mouth that can be compared to a stewed tea, which is also very tannic. The tannins find their way into a wine, particularly red wine, from the grape skins, stems and seeds. Wine aged in wooden barrels can also take on tannin from the barrels if the wood used is high in tannin." - By WineGuy
