Product Detail

You may or may not know a lot about wine but it’s definitely important to understand the rich history behind wine before you go out and try to make it for yourself. Wine, as you probably know, 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, a type of bacteria, 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.
