Wine

There are many varieties of wine around the world. Wines are generally classified according to the following aspects:

(1) According to the color of the wine

1. Red wine: Made from fermented grape skins, the color of the wine is divided into dark red, bright red, ruby ??red, etc.

2. White wine: Made from white grapes or red grapes without skin fermentation after pressing juice, it is light yellow or golden in color, clear and transparent, and has a unique typicality.

3. Rosé wine: A wine made from red grapes after short-term maceration and fermentation. It is generally pink in color.

(2) According to the sugar content in the wine

1. Dry wine: Also known as dry wine, the sugar in the raw material (grape juice) is completely converted into alcohol, and the residual sugar content is less than 0.4%. When you taste it, you can no longer feel the sweetness, only the sourness and refreshing feeling. Dry wine is the main type of wine consumed in the world market, and it is also the type in great demand in my country's tourism and foreign trade. Since dry wine contains very little sugar, the flavor of grape varieties is most fully reflected. The evaluation of dry wine is the main basis for identifying the quality of grape brewing varieties. In addition, dry wine will not cause re-fermentation of yeast and bacterial growth due to its low sugar content.

2. Semi-dry wine has a sugar content between 4-12 grams/liter and is consumed more in Europe and America.

3. Semi-sweet wine has a sugar content between 12-40 g/L and a slightly sweet taste. It is a variety consumed more in Japan and the United States.

4. Sweet wine: Wine with a sugar content of more than 40 grams per liter and can be tasted sweet is called sweet wine. High-quality sweet wines use grapes with high sugar content as raw materials. The fermentation is stopped before the fermentation is completed, so that the sugar content remains at about 4%. However, generally sweet wines mostly add sugar after fermentation. China and some Asian countries consume more sweet wine.
