Wine
Wine is an alcoholic beverage produced through the partial or total fermentation of grape. Wines are made through various stages such as harvesting, crushing, pressing, fermentation, clarification, aging and bottling. Wine can be made in the home and in small-medium-or large-sized wineries by using similar methods. Because of the effect upon grape composition, proper timing of the harvest is great important. Grapes that are used for wine making must have right amount of sugar content in them at harvesting time to make sure your wine is perfect. Premature harvesting results in thin, low-alcohol wines while late harvesting results in high-alcohol, low-acid wines.
