Vocabulary
without getting too technical
Tannis and protein are a winning combination. Wine tannins are attracted to proteins so, without getting too technical, a tannic wine will feel silky and full of fruit when consumed with meats and cheeses.
Someone says the underlined phrase means that 'I don't need to explain the theory in details', but I insist that the phrase in this context means 'you don't need to sweat on how to cook the food'.
Am I right or wrong?
