Yes. True wine is bitter. This Bulgarian saying is the reprise of
this song, which is called, appropriately enough, "Bitter wine":

Most people do not like much bitterness in mature, classic table
wines. However wines with various herb and spice additives, such as
wormwood which is rather bitter, are very popular in some countries
such as Italy and France. Vermouth, based on red or white wine, is
very popular to drink or mix in cocktails.

Thanks to all for your quick and infomative replies.

Does anyone know which of the following is more tradtitional?:

- Some winemakers believe that stems only add bitterness and harsh
tannins, whereas others believe it assists in aeration during
fermentation and lends an aromatic spiciness that cannot be denied.
