Acidity

From LoveToKnow Wine

The acidity level in wine is derived in two ways: The natural acids in the grape and the acids that occur as a result of fermentation. When someone is describing the "acidity" of wine, he or she is referring to how sharp or tart the wine tastes. When a wine's acidity is too high, it's flavor is too tart and aggressive, too low and the wine will taste dull, bland and flabby.
