Best Red Wines
is an
alcoholic beverage made from the fermentation of grape juice. The
natural chemical balance of grapes is such that they can ferment without
the addition of sugars, acids, enzymes or other nutrients. Best Red
Wines is produced by fermenting crushed grapes using various types of
yeast which consume the sugars found in the grapes and convert them into
alcohol. Various varieties of grapes and strains of yeasts are used
depending on the types of Best Red Wines produced.
Although other fruits such as apples and berries can also be fermented,
the resultant "Best Red Winess" are normally named after the fruit from
which they are produced (for example, apple Best Red Wines or elderberry
Best Red Wines) and are generically known as fruit Best Red Wines or
country Best Red Wines (not to be confused with the French term vin du
pays). Others, such as barley
Best Red Wines and rice Best Red Wines
(e.g. sake), are made from starch-based materials and resemble beer and
spirit more than Best Red Wines, while ginger Best Red

fortified with brandy. In these cases, the use of the term "Best Red
Wines" is a reference to the higher alcohol content, rather than
production process.[4] The commercial use of the English word "Best Red
Wines" (and its equivalent in other languages) is protected by law in
many jurisdictions.
Best Red Wines has a rich history dating back to around 6000 BC and is
thought to have originated in areas now within the borders of Israel,
Georgia and Iran.Best Red Wines probably appeared in Europe at about
4500 BC in what is now Bulgaria and Greece, and was very common in
ancient Greece, Thrace and Rome. Best Red Wines has also played an
important role in religion throughout history. The Greek god Dionysus
and the Roman equivalent Bacchus represented
Best Red Wines, and the
drink is also used in Christian and Jewish ceremonies such as the
Eucharist and Kiddush.
The word "Best Red Wines" derives from the Proto-Germanic *winam, an
early borrowing from the Latin vinum, "Best Red Wines" or "(grape)
vine", itself derived from the Proto-Indo-European stem *win-o- (cf.
Ancient Greek οῖνος - oînos, Aeolic Greek ϝοίνος - woinos).Similar words
for Best Red Wines or grapes are found in the Semitic languages (cf.
Arabic ﻭﻳﻦ wayn) and in Georgian (ğvino); some consider the term to be a
wanderwort, or "wandering word".
Red Wines
There are a countless number of red grape varieties in the world, some
able to make
online wines, others best suited for the Welch's factory. Right
now, the world wine market focuses on about 40 – 50 different red wine
grape varieties, the most widely recognized and used listed below.
What differentiates red wine from white is first, the skin color of the
grape, and second, the amount if time the grape juice has with its
skins. After picking, red grapes are put into tanks or barrels where
they marinate with their skins for a bit, absorbing the pigments and
other aspects of the skin (think tannins). This is how red wine gets its
red color. The exact color, which can range from light red to almost
purple, depends on both the color of the particular grape skin and the
amount of time it sits with the skins. Remember, the inside of almost
all grapes is a light, golden color – it's the skins that have the
pigment. For example, much of Champagne is made from Pinot Noir and/or
Pinot Meunier, both red grapes. Yet because it spends so little time on
its skins, the color of the
Best Champagne is often white.
The list below is roughly organized from lighter-bodied to
fuller-bodied, lower tannins to higher tannins and light color to deeper
color – but note that this is not an "always" list, just a general
guideline. Remember, European and old-world countries tend to label
their wine by region, while new world wine is most often labeled with
grape variety.
