3. What exactly does the alcohol do for the taste?

I also have a non-alcohol wine made by FRE that makes a great Merlot (my favorite). Their process is to make the full bodied wine first and then somehow remove just the alcohol, making the wine taste like Merlot but alcohol free.

I'm not sure what the merits of the alcohol are. The medical reports are warning more and more against all alcohol, espcially for those of us who are elderly.
