Wine, as the name suggests, is an alcoholic beverage made from the fermentation of fresh grapes (or grape juice). It is currently the world’s largest and most popular monosaccharide-based wine.
The origin of winemaking is early. About 6000 years ago, the Sumerians in Mesopotamia and the ancient Egyptians in the Nile River already had the skills to make wine. From ancient times to the present, the vinification of red wine is a work that requires perseverance.
The first step in the vinification process is to “remove the branches” and then “squeeze”. The grapes are separated from the branches one by one, and then the grape skins and grape flesh are squeezed into juice. The “red” of red wine is the natural color released by the grape skins after being squeezed.
After being squeezed into grape juice, it needs to be fermented to convert the sugar in it into alcohol. If you want to increase the fruit flavor, you need to add sulfur dioxide after fermentation to prevent the wine from oxidizing, to preserve more fruit flavor.
After fermentation, the wine will be placed in oak barrels for a period of time to increase the aroma of the wine and make the taste smoother. This process is called “maturation.” The fully matured wine must be filtered out of impurities before it can be bottled and shipped to all parts of the world.
Each bottle of red wine is not only the love of Mother Earth but also the result of many people who strictly observe the process and carefully wait for it.
Every sip of red wine is not only a gift from Mother Earth but also the crystallization of everyone’s efforts.
When everyone sips the sweet and fragrant red wine in the shark wine glass, don’t forget to say thank you softly to Mother Earth, and also thank everyone who insists on the details during the brewing process.
