0 1 by color
Red wine is the name of China people for wine, which shows the contempt for white wine. This classification is easy to understand, and most people can directly distinguish it with the naked eye.
Where does the color of wine come from? Yes, it's tannin in grape skin (please pay attention to the quality of color -shai element). Please remember this word that can be spelled hard.
Red wine: mixed fermentation of squeezed grape juice and grape skin, and then peeled and brewed.
White wine: There is no purple color, so it is fermented after the peel and juice are separated.
Pink Grape: It is brewed after a short period of skin and juice mixing (about basic 12-36 hours) and then peeled.
You will find that even according to the above classification, the color of wine in each type is slightly different, which is caused by different grape varieties (color and thickness of grape skin) and aging time. This will be discussed in detail later.
Then, the question of pulling points comes. Is white wine necessarily made from white grapes?
The answer is: No! Generally speaking, red wine is made from red grapes and white wine is made from white grapes, but sometimes red grapes can also be used to make white wine, such as gray wine and' black and white' champagne.

In actual drinking, according to the different grape varieties and brewing techniques, in fact, some dry and semi-dry wines will also have obvious sweetness, but they are definitely not the sweet and greasy taste you want.
In noble wine, ice wine is the representative of sweet wine, which is called "liquid gold" because of its small amount and high face value and value. Su Xie's Chateau d'Yquem is called Hermes in the wine industry. Thomas Jefferson, a former American president and famous wine collector, is her admirer. She is a "rich and willful" winery. If noble wine is not satisfied with the tasting results after brewing, they will give up the annual output just to ensure the high quality as always.
Grapes contaminated with expensive rot fungi, yes, the wine of Hagui above is made of "moldy" grapes. Is it irritating? !
Ice wine is really made from frozen grapes! The main ice wine producers in the world have been Germany and Canada. In recent years, due to the climate, Germany produces less, while Canada has stable quality and output because of its unique conditions. BC and Niagara Peninsula in Ontario are the main producing areas. The introduction of these two wines is interrupted because it is my favorite, and only with this greasy sweetness can I nourish my bitter heart!
03 points by brewing method
-Static wine: all made by grape fermentation, without adding extra alcohol and spices. That's what I just said above.
-Sparkling wine: The bubbles in this wine are mostly produced by natural fermentation, such as champagne. There are also aerated sparkling wines artificially filled with carbon dioxide.
-fortified wine: when other spirits are added in brewing, the alcohol content is usually high, 17-22%, so it is called fortified wine. This wine can be dry or sweet. Common types are Sherry in Spain and Port in Portugal, also known as immortal wine, which can be aged for a hundred years.
-Flavored wine: a special wine brewed by adding aromatic plants or other flavoring substances when drinking. The representative wine is vermouth wine, which is mainly white wine and added with 30 kinds of spices. One of the major functions of flavored wine is to mix cocktails. Because they not only have the characteristics of flavoring, but also have the characteristics of thickening. They contain more solids, have a large proportion, and are mellow, so they are indispensable wines for mixing cocktails.
