Types of wine
Red Wines
▶
They are made of various red grapes which have lots of fruit
flavor, fragrance, silkiness and tannin. Different from white
wines, they have various levels of tannin and they work with
most of red meat dishes. They taste good at room
temperature (18
℃
~20
℃
).
White Wines
▶
They are made of ripe white grapes and some of red grapes.
Being golden -brown in color, they have layers of intense flavor
which are fruity, crisp, aromatic and oaky. Mostly, they are suited
to fish dishes. They taste good at cold temperature (10
℃
).
Rosé Wines
▶
Usually pink or washed red in color, Rosés are almost same in
the process of making wines. Those which are dry and fruity
make excellent partners for a whole range of dishes from
delicate fish to rich spicy food. They should be served chilled
and drunk young.
Sparkling Wines
▶
The key process in producing sparkling wines or Champagne is a second
fermentation that occurs in a sealed bottle. After the first fermentation, yeast
and sugar are added to the young wine before it's sealed in heavy aglass
bottles. The yeast performs a second bubble fermentation in the bottle.
Champagne and sparkling wine have a wire cage holding the cork in the bottle.
Without this cage, corks could fly off because of the pressure inside the bottles.
Particularly, those produced in Champagne, France are called Champagne.
Along with them, Spumante from Italy is a popular sparkling wine.
Port Wines
▶
Sweet or dry wines with 15 percent alcohol or more are usually
made by adding brandy or pure spirit to the wine. Adding brandy to
the fermenting wine to stop the fermentation made them both
alcoholic and deliciously sweet and that’s how they’ve stayed.
