Good wines

True connoisseurs of this wondrous drink know for sure that wine is not guilty. This is not a secret to anyone. Wine varieties are varied. First of all, this is due to the grape variety taken as the basis for the manufacture of this wonderful drink. The recipe for making wine plays a significant role. Some keep it in oak barrels, others prefer glassware. The temperature regime and the method of filtration are also not in the last place in the process of preparing this drink.

Consider several well-known varieties of wines

First, you should consider what groups the drink is divided into. There are not many of them. Among the wine groups are the following:

• Table wines. The alcohol content in them is low. Usually reaches 14% rpm, but may be less. In addition, the low sugar content should be noted.
• Dessert strong wines. The degree of alcohol in them is higher. Moreover, sugar in such wines can contain up to 13%.
• Up to 15 turns in dessert semi-sweet wines. Sugar barely reaches 10%, but often less. Such a group of wines can rightfully be called universal, as it suits many in terms of its taste.
• There is a lot of sugar in dessert sweet varieties. Sometimes it reaches 32%, and starts from a value that is half the maximum indicator. The revolutions are usually 13-16.

Whatever the group of wines discussed above, there is a division into red, white and rosé. They are all good in their own way, and there is a fan for each type. Whether it's white, red, or rosé, it doesn't matter, the leaders among them top the list of the best in the world!

Some of the world's most famous wines

White wine variety (7th in the list of the best wines in the world) Chateau d'Yquem Sauternes 2009 has earned its title for a reason. Moderate strength (14%) of this wonderful white drink, combined with an unrivaled bouquet, make it a favorite on the tables of wealthy people. White wine variety (7th in the world ranking) Chateau d'Yquem Sauternes 2009 is not one of the "ancient" ones, but this did not prevent it from getting such an honorable place.

Among the popular drinks in the world from among the most expensive, you can also find something interesting. Light wines are renowned for their versatility. For example, "Chardonnay". This wine lies at the origin of the creation of the best and most expensive alcoholic beverages in the world. Its aroma is generously enriched with lemon and oily aromas. A soft and pleasant bouquet to the liking of most lovers. Although there are drinks that are completely different in their qualities, light wines are considered the best among all. Sauvignon blanc occupies the second shelf among white drinks. This wine can be safely called cult, like Chardonnay.

Italian preferences

The varieties of Italian wines are also varied. Sunny Italy has long been famous for its art in this matter. Each wine variety is good in its own way. This has been proven over time. Even those people who, it would seem, have tried a huge number of different wines, sometimes cannot make a choice in favor of one or another type of drink. But many connoisseurs prefer Italian wines. Among the white "representatives" of such a drink in Italy, Riesling is in the lead, and for good reason! After all, it has a truly unforgettable taste and wonderful aroma! Cabernet Sauvignon firmly holds the leading position among red wines. But again: the taste and color, as they say, there is no comrade. And it is especially difficult to choose varieties of Italian wines, because they are all attractive in their own way. Perhaps everything is due to the geographical factor. After all, Italy seems to have been created to grow the best grape varieties!

A little about table wines

The variety of table wine that has won the trust of lovers of this drink is called cardinal. This variety is a native of sunny California (one of the states of the United States). The grapes for the production of this "Californian" begin to be harvested at the end of August. Its taste is excellent, as is the aftertaste. It is used with pleasure by both women and men.

But Gewurztraminer Turckheim 2006, Domaine Zind-Humbrecht - a variety of white dry wine of famous brands - is truly a wonderful choice for any table for holidays and special events. Although they do not belong to the category of canteens. But to answer the question: "What kinds of wine are there?" - you can only by knowing the basics of assessing the qualities of this drink. There are reasons for this. The thing is that there are more than four and a half thousand species of red wine alone in the world! It is impossible to know all of them, and in fact there is no need.

Let's talk about elite wines

There are many different wines. As already mentioned, the whole point is in the manufacturing technology of those, raw materials, weather conditions in which the grapes grew and much more. Elite wines differ from more budgetary "brethren" not only by the high price (which famous drink lovers are willing to pay), but also by the peculiarities of the bouquet. Some of the most sophisticated representatives of the "elite" are presented to your attention:

1. Dom Perignon. As you know, this wine is preferred by stars, famous personalities and the richest people on our planet. It is not the leader of the "hit parade" of the most expensive drinks in the world, but it still occupies a significant niche.
2. The Australian manufacturer Penfolds Grange is arguably the best in Australia. A bottle of this wine will slightly reduce the tightness of your wallet. But it's worth it!
3. Chianti 2000, born by Badia a Passignao (the abbey that invented the variety). The aftertaste of the wine is vanilla-chocolate, and the taste is fruity.

Of course, there are a lot of elite wines in the world. The lists are updated every year, adding more and more new representatives of certain varieties. But nevertheless, the above bright representatives are quite widespread in the world and enjoy considerable popularity. Any elite wine is an unforgettable and unique taste, aroma and color. Choosing a drink to the table in honor of a special event, make your choice in favor of expensive, elite wines. You will never regret it! The money spent is nothing compared to the memory left by such drinks.

A little about fortified wines

Fortified wines are unusual and attractive in their own way. Among them there are certain divisions into classes. Exist:

• Strong.
• Flavored.
• Dessert types of fortified wines.

Each of these drinks is wonderful and attractive. A variety of fortified wine that came to us from the distant 19th century is called port. The history of its creation is closely related to the Douro River. Since the 19th century, wine has become very popular. They tried to create an analogue of it everywhere. The recipe has come down to our time. But it is no longer accepted to call it port, at least in the EU. Many people choose this particular type of strong wine. Perhaps the whole point is in the astringency and strength inherent in the drink, and maybe in other features of the product.

Initially, following the practice of the 18th and 19th centuries, whiskey was added to port before being sent to Portugal for sale. Thus, the wine was strengthened and did not deteriorate on the way.

By the way, many countries are now using their own technologies for the production of port. Among them are the USA, Australia, England, and many other states. Each one adds something different to the original recipe, improving some of the qualities.

Sparkling

Sparkling wine varieties are varied. They differ in color, taste and other features. As, however, and non-sparkling wine varieties. Perhaps we should start with a short introduction about the very history of the origin of this type. Asti Spumante is an Italian sparkling wine.The Italians got the secret of making such a thing back in the distant 19th century from the ancient town of Champagne (at least, that's how it is commonly believed). However, the similarities between champagne and spumante were negligible. The only property that both drinks had in common was a great mood, which undoubtedly arises after taking them. The main rule for creating asti spumante is the timely harvesting, in which the deadlines are not violated. The fruit should not be overripe, but it should not be harvested when it is not fully ripe.

In France, the best sparkling wines are those that are born in:

• Alsace;
• Bordeaux;
• Loiret;
• Burgundy.

They are made using a special technology. Unlike other methods of preparing such a specific drink, the French use metal closed vats to contain fermenting wine instead of the usual glass bottles. The method of this preparation is called "sharmat".

The Spaniards began to prepare sparkling wines in 1872. And this custom was born in Catalonia. Such wines in Spain are called "cava". They have a traditional technology for preparing such a drink. And this wine needs to be aged on the lees for 6-9 years according to the technology. It tastes fruity. This is due to the characteristics of the local grapes used for its preparation. Among the most famous Spanish wines of the "cava" group you can find the following:

• Perellada.
• Macabeo.
• Classic Chardonnay.

The technology for making such wine is surprisingly similar to that used to make champagne in France. The product is bottled for aging in glass bottles, which are placed in the basement. But they do it in such a way that all the sediment remains on the neck of the bottle used. Then the next process takes place - sediment removal. After the sediment has been removed from the bottleneck, the Spaniards add sugar to the bottles. The sugar rate is different. This is due to various factors (the variety of grapes used to make sparkling wine, and so on). After the procedure with the addition of sugar, the bottles are closed again. This time up to serving wine to the table.

There is another classification of this wonderful drink, depending on the container in which the wine was aged, and the timing of the aging itself. They are divided into three main groups:

• Aged wines.
• Vintage wines.
• Collectible wines.

The aged are characterized by their improved quality. They must be aged for at least six months (the countdown starts from 1.01 of the next year of yield), in large, capacious stationary containers, before they are bottled.

Vintage wines are a product of very high quality. The terms of their exposure in large stationary containers are not less than one and a half years. This is a necessary condition only for table wines of the brand group. Vintage dessert and fortified drinks must be aged for at least two years.

Collection wines are considered the best variety of the brand group. In addition to the fact that they are kept stationary in metal containers or wooden containers for a long time, they are then bottled and under enoteca conditions are additionally kept for about 3 years.

Wine can also be classified by the content of the sweet ingredient - sugar. There are five varieties, namely:

• Dry table wine. It contains no sugar and the alcohol level is minimal (10-12%). This is due to the fact that the wine material is not alcoholic at all after the fermentation process. When making white drinks, grape juice ferments beforehand. The process of making a red variety is carried out a little differently. The juice is not separated from the berry pulp, fermentation takes place together, after which the liquid is squeezed out using a special press.
• Semi-dry and semi-sweet table wines. The drink becomes like this, because the fermentation process is abruptly interrupted by strong cooling of the fermenting mass. In the starting material, about 11-13% alcohol is formed and 3-8% of sugar residues remain.
• Special fortified wines. A certain amount of alcohol is added to the fermenting wort. In this case, the process stops and thereby leaves the required amount of sugar in the drink. They are also divided into strong, dessert flavored drinks.
• Port wine, sherry, Madeira, Marsala are strong wines.
• About 17-20% of natural alcohol and sugar (7-14%) is usually found in port. The rest of the degree was introduced during alcoholization of the drink.

Based on the aging time and the quality of the grapes, the final product can be divided into two categories. The first is ordinary wine (ordinary). In turn, it is broken down into young and high quality. Ordinary, or typical, wines are made from a variety of grape varieties that can be grown geographically anywhere in the world. The process follows the general technology and rules. The resulting drink is not stored for a long time. After six months, the wine is sold.

A natural table drink is considered young, which is sold by January 1 of the next harvest year. Higher quality for elite wines. They are produced in the most optimal and productive years of the vineyards. It is imperative that a specific grape variety and geographical area with optimal conditions for its growth and fertility be used. During harvesting, strict and careful control of raw materials by varietal composition is carried out. Processing is carried out directly at the collection point. Everything is aged in huge oak or metal vats. It can also be kept in glass containers (bottles), in this case, the organoleptic and taste qualities of such a drink are significantly improved. The aging and fermentation process takes place using special technologies. The initial alcohol content in wine is 10%. It is stored perfectly and can stand for many, many years. Over the years, its quality and price will only grow.

Classification of wine depending on the amount of carbon dioxide in the drink

By the presence of carbon dioxide in wine, it can be divided into two types:

1. Quiet wine.
2. Effervescent or sparkling.

The complete absence of carbon dioxide in wine or its insignificant residues are characteristic of quiet varieties. Sparkling or fizzy drinks contain excessive amounts of carbon dioxide. They, in turn, are artificially saturated and receive CO2 during fermentation. There are also natural sparkling wines and ordinary sparkling wines made according to the classical principle of bottle fermentation.

Champagne wines

If you want to become a real gourmet and connoisseur of champagne, then knowing only that it is sparkling does not mean anything at all. It is classified according to the grape variety, the conditions and locality in which it was grown, the availability of sugar and the year of production. Champagne varieties can be divided into vintage and non-vintage drinks.

Two or three times in 10 years there are ideal conditions for high yields of grape fruits - vintages. A drink produced in one such year is called vintage or vintages. To produce non-vintage champagne, you need to use a mixture of Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier and Aino Noir. For it, average quality wine of the last two or three years is used in the amount of 15-40%.

There are four types of champagne:

1. Cuvees de prestige (special or delux) is considered the oldest and most aged sparkling drink from an expensive grape variety.
2. White from white. Made from Chardonnay grapes (only white varieties) - blanc de blancs.
3. White from black. The grapes "Pinot Noir" and "Pinot Meunier" are blank de noirs (red varieties).
4. As a result of mixing and combining white and red wines, you get rose, that is, pink.

Sweet wines

Lovers of sweet, delicious wines need to know the best varieties. These include semillon (semillon), muscadelle (muscadelle), gewurztraminer (gewurzstraminer), tocai (tokai), riesling (riesling), muscat (muscat of Alsace), chardonnay (chardonnay).This list is far from complete, but this selection contains the most refined and popular varieties of sweet wine, loved by true gourmets.

In order to become a real connoisseur and a person who is well versed in wines, you need to know all the classifications, their meanings and basic facts related to the conditions and terrain of growing grape fruits. It is also very important to be able to select the right variety depending on the holiday or event. Even in spite of different tastes and customs, there are cases that require the mandatory presence of a certain bottle of wine. For example, how can you celebrate and meet the New Year without a good bottle of sparkling champagne? Many simply cannot imagine this particular holiday without it.

Let's sum up

Enjoy delicious drinks of all categories and varieties. Having tried each of them, you can draw certain conclusions and opt for one or more types. Moreover, the assortment is designed for every taste and wallet of a gourmet client. Although there are often excellent wines at a reasonable price. Especially often they can be found among the new varieties that have not yet managed to fall in love with the world community, but are still endowed with excellent taste. Experiment, because everything in life is worth trying (within reason, of course)!

Red wine, possessing primary spicy aromas, is made from red (black) grape varieties using a special technology that allows anthocyanins to pass from fruit skins to wort, which is why the drink has such a rich color. The main source of juice is the pulp of the grapes. It contains tartaric, citric and malic acids, minerals, pectin, and various nitrogenous compounds. From the peel, tannins and polyphenols come to alcohol, and tannins from the grains. If we consider varieties of red wine, then it should be noted that there are about four and a half thousand of them all over the world, depending on the wine region. The most famous of them we will consider today.

Characteristics of red wines

Almost all noble red wines are rich in tannins, so they are full and mature in character. After aging, the alcohol takes on tones that are often accompanied by floral aromas (for example, violets) or vanilla aromas. Let's take a closer look at some of them.

Cabernet Sauvignon

Cabernet Sauvignon has a deep ruby ​​color. Depending on the aging, the wine can acquire both a mixture of aromas of cherry, plum, cranberry and black currant (three to seven years), and the aroma of oak with an admixture of leather, tobacco and coffee (ten to fifteen years).

What is served

Red wines such as Cabernet Sauvignon are considered strong enough to be served with light meals. Meat dishes made from pork, veal, poultry, as well as light cheeses, pasta, dark chocolate desserts are well suited to such an alcoholic drink.

Merlot

Merlot is a close relative of Cabernet Sauvignon, but its aroma is slightly softer, and the taste is sour and tart, in addition, it has a hint of dried fruit, therefore it is called "feminine." This variety of red grape wine has hints of vanilla, licorice, as well as black or green pepper and olives.

What is served

Lamb, poultry and veal dishes, as well as vegetable dishes, legumes, semi-hard cheeses, and Italian sausages are well suited to this wine. Fish does not go well with this drink, so they are not combined.

Pinot noir

Pinot Noir has a brick color, exquisite aroma with hints of smoke and wood, elegant pungent taste with hints of rose hips, spices and coffee. It must be said that this variety of red wine is unpredictable and capricious, therefore it requires some experience from the taster.

What is served

Pinot Noir is usually served with white meat with sauce, lamb or poultry dishes, and salmon.

Syrah

Syrah (Shiraz) has a strong, full-bodied taste with a pronounced aroma of walnut and cherry. It should be noted that Shiraz in each country differs in character and style. For example, in France, this wine has a hint of pepper and smoke, and in California - fruit and cork.

What is served

Red wines such as Syrah are mainly served with game, meats and fatty cheeses, as this wine is able to highlight the flavor of these dishes as much as possible. Spicy dishes, oranges, dark chocolate, as well as desserts with mint and fatty fish do not go well with this drink, since they do not allow the wine aroma and taste to fully unfold.

Going to the store for a bottle of good wine, many people get lost in the wide assortment, which includes a variety of varieties and types. Each of us remembers one of the most delicious wine that he constantly buys, setting aside all the others. Although, in fact, the huge variety of tastes of this divine drink deserves that you understand them and at least sometimes try something new.

Types of wine

All types of wine can be classified according to different characteristics:

• by color (red, white, pink)
• by sugar and alcohol content (canteens - dry, semi-dry, semi-sweet, as well as fortified - strong, semi-sweet, sweet, liqueur and sparkling)
• by cooking method (natural, effervescent, diluted, alcoholic and sweetened)
• by wine material (grape, raisin, berry, fruit, vegetable and mixed)

The very first thing a consumer pays attention to is the color of the wine. It depends on the grape variety, as well as the duration of the fermentation of the drink. Any type of red wine is made from dark grapes. At first, when the wine is just playing, it is lighter. But the more aged the drink, the darker its color. The most popular red wines are French Bordeaux, Italian Chianti, Merlot, Beaujolais, Cabernet Sauvignon and others.

Almost all white wines are made from light grapes. In those rare cases, when dark grapes are taken, the skins are removed from it, thereby preventing the intense coloring of the drink. The most famous white wines are Chardonnay, Vermouth, Meursault, Sauvignon Blanc, Montrachet, Verdicchio, Sauternes, Muscadet and others.

Rosé wine is often made from a mixture of red and white grapes using a white wine technology that includes grape refining and other secrets. The most famous rosé wines are Provencal Sancerre and Italian Bardolino.

The second important characteristic of wine, which is of interest to buyers, is the sugar and alcohol content. According to this parameter, wines are divided into drier table wines, sweeter fortified and sparkling wines. Any type of dry wine contains the least amount of sugar. This drink contains only 0.3% sugar and 9-14% alcohol. According to statistics, this particular variety of wine is the most demanded in the world. It is preferred by 80% of people. This is due to the fact that dry wine goes well with different dishes. And in moderation, it is even good for your health. In addition, dry wine is low in calories and is quickly excreted from the body. Semi-dry wine retains more sugar than dry wine - up to 3%, with an alcohol content of 9-12%. This wine has a bright aroma and a pleasant aftertaste. Semi-sweet wine has sugar 3-8% and alcohol content 9-12%. It is very light and tasty. This wine goes well with various desserts. It is drunk with cheese and fruit.

The next category of wines in terms of sweetness is fortified dessert wines, which include Madera and Port. The strongest varieties of such wines contain up to 20% alcohol. At the same time, dessert semi-sweet wines contain 5-12% sugar, sweet - up to 20% sugar and liqueur - up to 35% sugar. A separate variety of dessert wine is sparkling wine. This is the champagne that all women love. But it's important to know that sparkling wines aren't always sweet. They can also be dry.

If we talk about the method of making wine, then of course the natural method using juice without any artificial sweeteners and flavors is preferable. However, in some cases, sugar (liqueur wine) or honey (honey wine) is added to wine to enhance the taste and aroma. In addition, sometimes manufacturers artificially increase the strength of wine with alcohol or, on the contrary, dilute the drink with water.

And finally, as for the wine material. Many experts say that wine can only be made from grapes. Drinks made from the juice of other fruits, berries and fruits are not considered wine. However, consumers nevertheless drink such drinks with pleasure, calling them wine. What could it be? Berry wine made from cherries, plums, peaches and apricots, fruit wine made from apples and pears, raisin wine, and vegetable wine made from rose petals, maple and birch sap, melon and watermelon.

Multi-grade wines made from grapes are divided into separate and blended wines. You have to distinguish between them. Different types of grapes are mixed in the production of sepazh wines. And in the production of blended wines, not grapes are mixed, but a ready-made fermented product.

The best wines

As you know, different types of wines differ in basic characteristics and also depend on the conditions of production. The same wine can taste different if it is made in different regions and in different years. The most delicious wines are produced not only from high-quality grapes, but also in the most favorable seasons, when the grapes ripen as sweet and aromatic as possible.

In addition, the best wines have a long aging period. If we are talking about "aged" wines, they are kept in containers until bottling for at least 6 months. "Vintage" wines are aged in barrels from one and a half years (dry table wines) to two years (sweet dessert wines). And, finally, the most elite "collection" wines are aged first in metal or oak barrels, and then, after spilling, are stored for several more years in bottles in special storage facilities. These wines are the most expensive. They are even sold at auctions.

At the moment, there are a huge number of different varieties of wines. And every day more and more new names appear. You don't have to know all of them. It is enough to remember at least a few classic varieties. And if you understand the basic classification, you can always easily choose a good wine for yourself in the store. And then try and decide what you like best.

It is a big mistake to consider real red wine to be exclusively an alcoholic beverage.

This noble gift of nature, in addition to the highest taste, is also endowed with excellent healing properties.

Red wine production technology

In addition to the fact that red wine differs from white grape varieties, it is also produced in several other technology.

In most cases, sugar is not used in the preparation of red wines, or it is added in minimal quantities, due to which they are considered dry.

The process of making red wine is far from simple.

Fully ripe grapes undergo long-term thorough processing, they are carefully sorted and clear of:

• ridges;
• leaves;
• garbage.

All rotten or unripe berries must be removed, otherwise they will worsen both the color and taste of the wine, which will be impossible to correct later.

Sorted berries are urgently needed shatterwithout breaking the integrity of the bones, otherwise it will give a bitter taste to the wine.

Crushed grapes (pulp) are left for the fermentation, fermentation and maceration process in special containers in a strictly defined temperature regime.

This process takes up to 10 days, then the wine decant, and the pulp is pressed, thus obtaining an even darker and more saturated wine material.

Red wine withstand for complete fermentation and aging for a rather long time - from several months to five or more years.

Excerpt of good wine must necessarily take place in oak barrels made of special wood.
