Types of Alchol - Wine

Hello. Today I will be continuing my types of alchol series. So far I have covered beer and ale. Today's article is going to talk about various aspects of Wine. Wine, as far as alchol goes, is an extremely popular beverage. The use of wine has been dated back to around 6000 BC. Wine is a very important drink, and is used for both social and religious purposes. The word wine can be translated from latin to "grape vine."

There is a huge variety on the types of wine you can get. You can make wine from virtually any type of grape, apples, berries, barley, rice, and ginger. All of these wines have their own names, flavors, and tastes. By far though, the most popular is grape wine.

Wine is created through the process of fermentation. Since grapes have such a high amount of sugar in them, there is no need to add other sources of sugars. Yeast converts the sugars into alchol, and the result is wine. Different strains of yeast are used depending on the type of wine and flavor. Wine is usually made from different strains of a grape species called Vitis Vinifera. Some wines are also made from hybrid grapes, or grapes that have been genetically altered with other types of grapes. As most beer is created in breweries, most wine is made in vineyards, where the grapes are grown.

If you go looking for different types of wine, you might run into a vintage wine. Vintage wines are made from grapes that were all harvested the same year. Vintage wines for each year generally have the same taste. This is because they all came from the same grape.

After the wine is finished and ready for consumption, it usually goes through a tasting process. Wine tasting is all about judging the taste and color on a variety of factors. The first step in the tasting process is judging the color. Based on where the grapes come from, the color changes. Next, a wine taster will taste the wine. Tasters try to pick out individual ingredients and flavors, no matter how subtle. Lastly, the aroma is judged. Wine aroma is created by the release of compounds in the wine. To vaporize these compounds, all that needs to be done is to swirl the glass. Also, serving wine at room temperature is also helpful.

Lastly, wine is often collected. Some wines, depending on age and what vineyard they come from, can go for thousands of dollars. However, when you hear most people talk about fine wines, it's between the price range of $30-50. Many people devote whole cellars for the collection of wines. This allows the wine to age in the perfect conditions, so that when it's time to be consumed, it tastes perfect.

That's it for today's article. I hope you learned something about wine you didn't know before. Thanks for reading about alchol!
