Never seen this before! Why does this old bottle of Lambrusco say it has 8+2.5% alcohol?
With a group of wine friends and none of us had ever seen this before!

That is to tell you something about the sweetness of this Lambrusco. It has 8% real alcohol and 2,5% potential alcohol (so sugar which could be alcohol). It’s not very common anymore to write it like this.

I don’t know exactly how Lambrusco is gasified, but perhaps it is 8% from the sugar in the grapes plus 2.5% from either chaptalization or liqueur de tirage.
