Wine 101: Wine Basics for Beginners
Get a brief overview of wine basics and wine for beginners with the Vino! Wine 101 wine primer.
Each of us is evolving in our personal cultural experience. Perhaps you too have come to the place where you’re ready to experience more adventure as a connoisseur. There is culture in wine. It can be found in the ritual of drinking it, appreciating the craft of the winemaker, and in the wine’s stimulation to our taste buds. And now, let us pursue the pure taste enjoyment of wine.
When we drink wine, our taste buds are stimulated in a unique way and the alcohol has a calming effect on the brain. Human taste has four components: sweetness, saltiness, acidity and bitterness. The acidity and sweetness in wine are the two factors that balance together to produce a pleasant sensation on our sense of taste. We taste the acidity with the middle of the tongue and sweetness with the tip of the tongue.
Wines with excessive acidity taste harsh, those with insufficient acidity taste uninteresting and their flavor does not linger in the mouth long enough. Tannins contribute to the relationship of bitterness on the tongue. If you’ve ever chewed into grape seeds, then you’ve tasted the dry bitterness of tannin. Wine with too much tannin is unpleasantly bitter. The right level of tannin has an effect of bringing all the flavors together with a good “grip” in the mouth. The various fruit-like flavors detectable in wine contribute nuances to the sweetness we taste. It’s fun trying to detect different fruit characteristics, such as berries, plums, apples, pears…
Our other senses are involved as well. Our sight enjoys the color and our sense of smell enjoys the fragrances. Much of a wine’s character is revealed only through the aroma it exudes. This adds richly to the dimensions found in wine.
Wine Grape Varieties
There are many species of grapes, but most of the world’s wine is produced from the Vitis vinifera family, of European origin. Wine grapes have various unique, signature characteristics. Check out the following varietal grapes:
Popular Red Varieties
Cabernet Sauvignon
Grenache
Merlot
Pinot Noir
Sangiovese
Syrah (Shiraz)
Tempranillo
Zinfandel
Popular White Varieties
Chardonnay
Gew?rztraminer
Gr?ner Veltliner
Pinot Blanc
Riesling
Sauvignon Blanc
Semillon
How Wine is Made
Wine grapes, Vitis vinifera, grow easily in any temperate to warm climate. A solution of sugar and water develops in ripe grapes and the skins easily allow the growth of natural yeasts. In the fermentation process, these single cell organisms consume the natural sugar and change it into ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide. This rather simple process has been observed and used for thousands of years in human culture. In the past hundred years or so, technology and new ideas from winemakers have played an ever-increasing role in the making of wine. It’s becoming more and more a science and an art.
Here are the basic principles of winemaking. The grapes are either harvested by hand (this is best), or with mechanical harvesters. Exposure to air should be kept to a minimum at all stages of the process. Sometimes powdered sulfites are sprinkled on the grapes prior to crushing to prevent too much reaction with the air. The fermentation usually takes place in open vats. Several processes may be employed to give the wine clarity: fining and filtration for example. Shortly after fermentation has ended, the wine is transferred to a settling tank where filtration and other clarification techniques may be used.
The Differences Between Red Wine and White Winemaking
There are significant differences between red wine and white wine production. Basically, red wine is the outcome of crushed, fermented grapes. White wine is the outcome of fermented grape juice (that is, no skins or meat of the fruit). Blush wines, out of interest, are produced from red grapes that are made into wine as though they were white grapes. The red grape skins add a bit of color and nutrients to the juice being made into blush or ros?, leaving a slight blush of red in the wine.
Red Wine
All grapes contain the same kind of green fruity-meat, but red grapes have red skins and in the winemaking process, there is a considerable amount of color, flavors and tannins that are imparted to the final product. After crushing, the red grapes, skins and all, sit in a fermentation vat for a period of time. Picture a huge plastic bin with a mixture of crushed grapes and juice with a layer of crushed wet skins on top. The skins tend to rise to the surface of the mixture, forming a layer on top. This top layer is frequently mixed back into the fermenting juice (called must). After fermentation has stopped, about one to two weeks later, the new wine is drawn from the vat. A bit of “free run” juice is allowed to pour and then the remaining must is squeezed, yielding “press wine”. The wine is clarified and then transferred to oak aging barrels so that it may mature. When the winemaker considers the wine ready, it is transferred to bottles and labeled.
White Wine
Right after picking, white grapes are put into a crushing machine. In the process, the skins are separated from the juice, an important difference over the red wine process. Some adjustments are sometimes made to the acid or sugar levels at this stage (the addition of sugar is called “chaptalization”). The clarified juice is then ready for fermentation.
Yeast is then added to the juice for fermentation. Before long the white grape juice becomes white wine. At this point, some further tinkering is usually called for: filtering, and perhaps the addition of sweeter juice to round out the flavor. The wine is then aged by storing in oak or stainless steel containers, and after a few months, it is bottled.

Question by : Is moscato like muscadine wine?
I’m not really a wine drinker..
Best answer:
Answer by Andre
No, it is not. Muscadine wine is also a dessert wine but not as sweet and ‘clear’ and ‘frutie’ as Moscato.
Moscato is a ‘Sweet’ wine that some countries consider it a liquor because it’s mostly used for the making of all kind of delicious desserts. When drinking it it’s served in a very small glass to sip from it, all to the contrary if it was just ‘a regular’ wine that is served in bigger quantity in large glasses.
Also instead of a full dessert, some people prefer to sip Moscato because it’s also considered a Dessert Wine…

View CommentThere are very distinct differences in taste, between reds, blushes, and whites. Whites tend to be very sweet in taste. Blushes are usually sweet as well, and tend to use more berries in the taste. Reds are rarely sweet, they tend to be “dry”. The dryness taste is very a strong, almost peppery spice taste. This is most likely to be in reds. And wine gets better with age. Winery’s age red wines in oak barrels, which gives it time to ferment and gain very different tastes.
View CommentMake yourself a cup of hot tea and take a sip without adding sugar. That’s how I would describe dry. Sweet is generally the opposite of dry, and the taste is exactly what you would think. Every wine has a different flavor so it’s difficult to generalize. I would recommend buying a few inexpensive bottles and taste-testing them. Figure out what you like and what you don’t, but know that it will change over time. One hint: dry wines work best with food while sweet wines are better as cocktails. The sugar is sweet wines dulls the palate and actually works against a meal.
View CommentA dry wine is a wine thats flavor has no sweetness and gives off a more acidic finish. There are many factors that make a wine good. The first and most important one is that the grapes be of a good quality. This is influenced by the weather and the attention they receive from humans. After that it depends on the style of the winemaker.
View CommentWhen bacteria act on wine,on the alcohol or sugars, it creates acid. cider ferments, then turns to vinegar. Wine vinegar is spoiled wine.
acid would not cause the wine to breakdown, but would not keep the wine drinkable.
