What kinds of wines are there?
First, according to the different sources of grape growth:

1, mountain wine (wild wine)

wild grapes as raw materials made of wine.

2. Home Wine

Artificially cultivated winemaking varieties of grapes as raw materials for wine. Most of the domestic wine manufacturers mainly produce house wine.

Second, the color classification of wine:

1, white wine

Choice of white grapes or light red skin wine grapes, after the separation of the skin and juice, the juice for fermentation of the wine made of such wine color should be similar to the colorless, light yellow with green, light yellow, yellow, Wo pole. The color is too dark to meet the color requirements of white wine.

2. Red Wine

Selecting wine grapes with red skin and white flesh or red skin and flesh, using mixed fermentation of the skin and juice, and then separating and aging the wine, the color of this kind of wine should be a natural ruby red, purple red, garnet red and so on. The red color that loses its natural sense does not meet the requirements of red wine color.

3, rosé wine

This wine is between red and white wine, choose red skin and white flesh wine grapes, the skin juice for a short period of mixed fermentation to achieve the color requirements for the separation of pomace, continue fermentation, aging into rosé wine. The color of this type of wine should be peach, or rose red, light red.

Three, according to the amount of sugar in the wine classification:

1, dry wine

The sugar in the wine is almost fermented, and the total sugar in each liter of wine is less than 4 grams. When you drink it, you can't feel the sweetness and the acidity is obvious. Such as dry white wine, dry red wine, dry rosé wine.

2. Semi-dry wines

It means that the total sugar in each liter of wine is between 4-12 grams. It has a slightly sweet taste when drinking, such as semi-dry white wine, semi-dry red wine, semi-rose wine

3. Semi-sweet wine

is a wine that contains between 12-50 grams of total sugar per liter. It is sweet and smooth when drinking.

4. Sweet Wine

Sixth, brandy is also made from grapes

It is a distillate of wine. The world's most famous brandy for the production of France's Cognac region of China began large-scale production of brandy, as a commodity in the domestic and international markets, began at the beginning of the twentieth century, Huaqing company.

Wine is not as good as the vintage:

Currently, in the eyes of many consumers, the "vintage" of wine is synonymous with high-grade, and it is believed that the earlier the vintage year, the better the quality of the wine is labeled. As a result, vintage wines are covered with a beautiful halo and their prices naturally soar.

But the Shandong Provincial Bureau of Quality Supervision Standards Division Meng Zhaohong, section chief, the quality of wine mainly depends on the year of production of wine raw material grape quality, raw material grapes, the higher the sugar content, the production process of fermentation, the better, the quality of wine is naturally better. But the grape planting is mainly affected by the year's climatic conditions, when encountered less cloudy and rainy days, sunshine is more abundant in the year of grape production, the quality of grapes is relatively good; on the contrary, if encountered in the grape planting of the "small year", the quality of grapes is relatively poor.

Experts introduced, only with the year of the grape juice extracted from the grapes as raw materials, the production of wine can be labeled as the year of the vintage wine. As the quality of grapes varies from year to year, the quality of vintage wines also varies greatly. Therefore, the vintage of a wine can only indicate the year in which the raw material comes from the grapes, and cannot be used as an absolute standard for assessing the quality of the wine, and the length of the vintage alone does not determine the quality of the wine. For example, a wine produced in 1993 may not be better than a wine produced in 2003.
