2. Wine - The Definition
 Wine is the fermented juice of any fruit or
vegetable.
 Five basic types of wine are:
 Red Wine
 White Wine
 Rose wine
 Sparkling Wine - carbonated
 Fortified Wine - high alcohol content

3. Why use grapes to make wine?
 Winemaking is the art of making
wine.
 It involves working with grape juice
(natural sugars, water, grape solids)
and yeast to achieve a balance of
wine qualities:
 sweetness
 acidity
 alcohol content
 Why grapes? Wine from grapes
possesses a good combination of
these qualities.
 While natural occurring yeast on the
grapes will work, winemakers tend
to use developed strains of yeast
today.
