Wine is an alcoholic beverage made from fermented grapes or other fruits. The grapes are crushed and the juice is then fermented with yeast to convert the sugars into alcohol. The resulting liquid is then aged in barrels or tanks to develop its flavour and character.
Wines come in a variety of styles and can be classified based on colour, body, sweetness, and other characteristics. Some common types of wine include red, white, and rosé, as well as sparkling wines like Champagne and Prosecco.
Sparkling wine is a type of wine that is carbonated, giving it a bubbly texture and effervescence. Sparkling wine can be made in a variety of ways, including through a secondary fermentation process in which carbon dioxide is produced and trapped in the bottle or tank, or through a carbonation process that adds carbon dioxide directly to the wine. Champagne is a specific type of sparkling wine that is made in the Champagne region of France and is known for its high quality and distinctive flavour. Other types of sparkling wine include Prosecco, Cava, and Sekt.
Wine is often enjoyed as a beverage with meals or as a social drink and can be paired with a wide variety of foods, such as cheese, meat, and seafood.
