Kahor is a fortified dessert red wine common in Ukraine. As a rule, it is produced by the method of heat treatment: heating the wort and pulp to 65-80 °C, followed by fermentation of the wort and aging for at least 2-3 years.
The name comes from the French dry wine, which is made in the vicinity of the city of Cahors.
In Ukraine, cahors can be made from various grape varieties: cabernet sauvignon (it is preferred in Moldova), merlot, saperavi, and malbec, which is the basis of French cahors, may not be in it at all. Cahors is characterized by a relatively high content of both sugar (usually 160-193 g/l) and alcohol (usually 11-16.5%)[3].
