By Sandra Cook


Amongst the top drinks that someone can drink is wine whenever out for dates, relaxing at home or in the office. They come in different type and most do not comprehend the procedure in wine making supplies. A range of stages are passed so as to land to that final wine that is of high class. There are diverse ways of creating this product though the subsequent is most common.

Grapes are used in making this product. They are harvested in high numbers after they are ready. Harvesting them is a step handled carefully as grapes determine the type of wine that will come out of them. When harvested early, they produce a drink with high acids and a lesser alcohol percentage with multiple green flavors. The product is bitterer. Harvesting them at the right stage, they produce wines of high quality with less acids and high volume of alcohol.

Grapes that are harvested late require artificial acidity to remove the flabby taste. Some will have water added to them to minimize the alcohol content in completed wines. Most wines tend to have similar ABV levels which is mostly 13.5% and adding water could be the reason. Weather can also affect the quality of grapes. Sudden change of weather especially when nearing harvesting leads to bad vintage.

Commonly you will hear wine makers use the words cold soaking and maceration time. The process which occurs before alcohol comes in is what is called cold soaking. When grapes are kept cold, the musts get colder and fermentation of yeast begins. The reason for carrying out the process is extraction of color and the fruit flavors found in the skin keeping away from the bitter tannin.

The next stage is fermentation which changes the resulting fruits flavors and color into drink. Fermentation temperature gets as high as 26-37 Celsius as the yeast metabolize to produce alcohol. For the red wines, warmer fermentations are used. Cold and cooler fermentations are practiced on white and the rose wines.

The next phase is the drawing out tannin in huge amounts is Pump Over process. Commonly, it is recognized as wine sprinkling that offers moderate extraction and sometimes forceful stirring the tanks being used for ferment ting. Punch Downs is a fragile method of stirring the drink. This procedure is carried out by hand to prevent oxygen getting into the drink.

Oak aging is another procedure that the product goes through and there is more than just adding the taste of vanilla in it. As the drink ages, at this stage it is exposed to more oxygen. Oxygen reduces tanning that helps the drink achieve the optimal fruitiness. The wine is then packed in bottles and sealed using corks. These corks used in sealing the drink let in some amount of oxygen.

There are a range of procedures used in making different wines like; sorting tables, crushing the grapes and others. The above method is generally used and is considered the best. The wine one takes today goes through the procedures before packaging and supplying to the consumer.
