Wine

Wine is an alcoholic beverage made by fermenting crushed grapes or other fruits. Yeast consumes the sugars in the fruit, producing alcohol and carbon dioxide in the process. Different grape varieties, regions, and fermentation methods create a wide range of flavors and styles, from red and white to sparkling and dessert wines. Wine is often classified by its varietal (grape type), region of origin, and sweetness level. It is enjoyed in various cultures for its taste, aroma, and ability to complement food. Wine appreciation involves understanding these elements and the pairing of wine with different cuisines.
