The author fails to understand modern wines to begin with. Amarone is not a raisin wine at all, the link to the appassimento method correctly explains that the Amarone process is initially based on dried grapes, but the result is a dry wine.

Yeah, and apassimento is not a modern day luxury. Maybe the author is right about Cretans using chaptalization, but that’s very far from “faking” wine.
