Learning the basic about wine is useful because it allows you to crediby evaluate the wines you taste and impress your date.WHAT IS WINE?wine is fermented grape juice,but with some twists.God left us with a few remnants of Eden when he gave us the boot ,and one of hte best is the fact that any fruit containing sugar will turn to booze if you leave it to fermant.In the process of fermentation,yeast convert s the suguar into alcohol.Yeast is found all over the place,and in the wild ,it lands on the skins of the grapes.And although prapes will ferment naturally ,wintners nowadays don't take any chances.they labor over the precise strain of yeast to be used in their recipes,because different choices will lead to different results. THE INGREDIENTS most people believe that green grapes make white wine and red grapes make red wine.That is largely true,but you should know that white wine can also be made from red grapes.the inside of a red grape is essentially "white"-and most wine are made wiht just the inside of the grape .the red color in red wine is created by allowing the fleshy interior to mix wiht the skins during the crushing process,which infuses red wines wiht "tannin"an ingrediet that gives red wine its distinvtive flavor.So you can white wine with red grapes -like Whit Zinfaaadelma white wine made from a grape with a decidedly red exterior-but not red wine with green grapes,To top it off,most champagnes are made from red grapes.Weird ,but true. WHERE COLOR COMES FROM?color is one of the major distinguishing features of wine. the main difference between red and white wine is that the grape juice used to make red wine contains skins ,seeds,and stem.this is significant because leaving juice to mix together with woody bits causes the finished product to contain sth we briefly mentioned earlier-tannins.if the term"tannin"bugs you because you don't really understand it,just think about a strong cup of tea.that woody taste is tannin .in wine ,it can lend a wonderful complexity to red varieties.
