Wine knowledge is not just a matter of image or standing out in society, but a matter of personal satisfaction and enjoyment. Although wine was once consumed primarily due to the lack of clean drinking water and to quench thirst, today wine is not drunk just to be drunk, but to experience all its characteristics and qualities. <\/p>\n\n
For professionals such as winemakers, oenologists, and sommeliers, it is important to have an extensive base of wine knowledge, but for the average wine lover, it is essential to know how to distinguish good wine from bad and to know at least something about wines that rank among favorites. Also, if you find yourself in a more upscale restaurant where sommeliers and wine experts will recommend a wine, if you don’t know some basic wine terms, you will have difficulty navigating. <\/p>\n\n
According to sugar content, wines are divided into dry, semi-dry, semi-sweet, and sweet, and according to color into white, ros\u00e9, and red wines. The designation table wine means it is produced from one or more grape varieties and cannot bear the designation of a specific variety. Quality wine with a controlled designation of origin symbolizes wine produced from grapes originating from one wine-growing subregion, according to characteristic ecological and other conditions. Such wine is not only produced but also matured in that subregion. If a wine bears a varietal designation, it means it is produced from at least 85% of grapes whose name is highlighted in the title. <\/p>\n\n
There are also predicate wines whose quality is distinguished by exceptionally successful vintages, produced under special conditions, from the method of harvest and processing to maturation. The designation late harvest means that grapes in a state of complete ripeness and must of 94\u00b0 Oechsle were used, selected harvest suggests that the wine is obtained only from carefully selected grapes whose must contains at least 105\u00b0 Oechsle, ice wines are obtained from grapes harvested at low temperatures that are processed in a frozen state. <\/p>\n\n
Of course, this is only part of the rich wine terminology, but for the average wine enthusiast, it is a foundation that will make it easier to find and select a wine that best suits their taste, as well as their budget.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
