Some winemakers determine extract by simply evaporating the liquid and weighing the residue. Extract contributes to the body, flavor, character and color of a wine. Wines made from grapes that provide heavy extract are usually described as full-bodied, and have dense, concentrated flavors and dark (for the type), opaque colors.
