Wine Tip #1
Wednesday, March 4th, 2009What is Wine?
All wine is fermented grape juice. It can be red, white, pink and dry, medium or sweet in style. Wine has an alcohol content of 5.5 to 14 percent, while fortified wine has grape spirit added to bring it to 15 to 22 percent alcohol content. Sparkling wine contains carbon dioxide which gives the wine its distinctive bubbles. Men and women are thought to have been enjoying wine cultivated from grapes as far back as 4000 BC.
