Wine production processes
Wine production involves several key steps: harvesting grapes, crushing them to release juice, and fermenting that juice with yeast, which converts sugars into alcohol. After fermentation, the wine may be aged in barrels or tanks to develop flavor. Once matured, it's filtered and bottled. Some wines undergo blending to achieve desired tastes, while others are bottled as single varietals. Various factors like grape variety, terroir (environmental conditions), and winemaking techniques influence the final product, resulting in a wide range of flavors and styles in wines.
