A sharp or tart taste in a wine, not necessarily indicating spoilage. All wines contain some acid; too little may leave the flavor flat or dull. Often, a young wine has a somewhat acid taste that diminishes or disappears during aging.

| acid etching |
Acid etching is the selective dissolution of a surface (usually the tooth enamel) by a dilute acid. In the case of the tooth surface, this causes demineralisation of the enamel leaving a clean and more mechanically retentive surface layer, thereby improving the bonding to filling materials. The acid used is generally 30 to 50% Phosphoric acid.
