Wine
• Wine is an alcoholic beverage typically made of
fermented grape juice. 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. Yeast consumes the sugars found in the
grapes and converts them into alcohol. Different varieties
of grapes and strains of yeasts are used depending on
the type of wine being produced.
