Wine

We realize that almost all of people know what wine is. Wine is an alcoholic beverage made from the fermentation of grape juice. Now days not just juice fruit can make a wine but the other can be such example: apple and berries this fruit can be fermented as grapes. Normally named after the fruit from which they are produced. For example, apple wine or elderberry wine. Others, such as barley wine and rice wine.

The word "wine" derives from the Proto-Germanic winam, an early borrowing from the Latin, "wine" or "(grape) vine", itself derived from the Proto-Indo-European stem. Wine stems from an extended and rich history dating back about 8,000 years and is thought to have originated in present day Georgia or Iran. Wine is thought to have appeared in Europe about 6,500 years ago in present-day

Bulgaria and Greece and was very common in classical Greece, Thrace and Rome. Wine has also played an important role in religion since ancient times. The Greek God Dionysos and the Roman God Bacchus represented wine. Wine has also played an important role in religious ceremonies of Christianity and Judaism, such as the Eucharist and Kiddush.

The good wine must contains the natural chemical balance of grapes is such that they can ferment without the addition of sugars, acids, enzymes or other nutrients. Wine 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 wine produced.
