The Wonderful World of Wine - An Introduction

Wine never fails to make any occasion special. Whether it be a large wedding banquet or a simple dinner for two, the celebratory ambience is never complete without using the corkscrew to unveil the luscious liquid.

Homemade Wine...

Unfortunately, the high esteem for wine distances it to the greater majority who are yet to be converted to its wondrous pleasures. Nevertheless, like most of life’s joys, it is never too late to introduce yourself to the delightful bliss that wine has to offer. It is best to start entering the world of wine by knowing the different kinds. Trying each one would help you to discover the joys they bring.

Red Wine

Perhaps the most popular types of wine are the reds, thanks to the praises afforded by the medical world due to their heart-protecting, antioxidant properties. Red wines give the boldest and deepest flavors because of the grape skins which are used in the winemaking process. The longer a wine is in contact with its skin, the redder its color and the bolder its flavor. Common reds are Cabernet Sauvignon, Gamay, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Shiraz, and Zinfandel.

White Wine

Many find it best to introduce themselves to wine with whites as they give off a more delicate flavor and aroma. White wines are made without the grape skins, producing a milder, sweeter taste. White wines can be made from both white and red grapes, so long as the skin isn't intact. The most popular wines are Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Riesling.

Pink Wines

Rose and pink wines have flavors that are somewhere in between whites and reds. Pink wines usually taste tart and fruity. Pink and Rose wines aren't made from roses, but are made with red wine grapes with very minimal contact to the skins, so their colors aren't as deep as red wines.

Sparkling Wines

Bubbly or sparkling wines are opened for the most important celebrations, making them princes or kings of the wine kingdom. Methods of making bubbly are very tedious which is why it is highly valued. The most popular sparkling wine is Champagne, made under the intricate methods done in Champagne, France.

Dessert Wines

Wines to be taken with dessert usually should be sweeter than the dessert itself. Dessert wines are combined with spirits to raise their alcohol contents and to increase the sugar concentration. The most common types are Port, Madeira, Sherry, and Vermouth. Wine can make any occasion special. Why not make every occasion special by drinking wine regularly? By knowing the kinds of wine, you are sure to enjoy its wonders.

Before we begin, I ought to say that two people using the same recipes do not necessarily turn out identical wines any more than they would turn out identical cakes by using the same mixture.

Why? The answer lies, probably, in the fact that one may make a good cup of coffee while the other does not, but - coffee, cake or wine - there is always someone to like it the way you have made it.

Water and ingredients doubtless have a lot to do with this variation of wines turned out from the same recipe.

Fruit and vegetables of different varieties in one brew; harder or softer water in various districts; a wet or dry summer, which would affect the sugar content of fruits; rich or poor soil in which the roots were grown - all these must be allowed for.

Commercial producers offset such differences in the quality of their grapes by careful blending, which is a highly skilled operation carried out in laboratories, and which results in each brand of wine containing all the characteristics that have made it popular.

Thus two bottles of the same brand of wine will taste identical, even though one bottle may contain as many as eight or nine different wines of varying ages against the other's four or five.

If commercial producers have this advantage over us home producers, do not begrudge them it, for it is the only one they have - as we shall see.
