WHAT IS A WINE APPELLATION?
A wine appellation is a designated growing area, a geographical indication legally defined and protected, used to identify where a wine was produced. It is governed by the rules and regulations established by its federal government and local governing body. It sets regulations on factors such as grape varieties, winemaking techniques, and quality standards to ensure consistency and authenticity.
WHAT IS ALCOHOL IN WINE?
Alcohol is the intoxicating element in wine, produced by the yeast fermentation of certain carbohydrates-the sugar in fruit. The yeast converts the sugar into ethanol (alcohol) and carbon dioxide. If a wine is fully fermented, from 40 to 45 percent of the grapes' sugar content is converted into carbon dioxide and from 55 to 60 percent is converted into ethyl alcohol (the only alcohol suitable for drinking). Alcohol is an essential component of wine, contributing to its flavor, body, and structure. While it plays a critical role in defining a wine's character, the key to a great wine is balance—where alcohol harmonizes with acidity, sweetness, tannins, and flavor.
WHAT IS THE "AGING" OF WINE?
Aging is the process of maturing wines over time so they can improve. Wine can be aged in the barrel or in the bottle. Wines that benefit from aging become less harsh, less tannic, smoother, and more complex. Aging is necessary for some wines to reach their full potential. These include most fine red wines, such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Malbec to name a few, and many white wines, such as Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Riesling. Additionally, fortified, and sparkling wines benefit from aging.
