Drinking wine is popular all over the world, but how to define "wine"?
Because medical reports believe that drinking wine can help prevent and improve the symptoms of cardiovascular diseases, wine has become a healthy drink, from improving delicious food. Nowadays, drinking wine is all over the world, but how to define "wine"? Why are all kinds of wines with different tastes and alcohol concentrations on the market called wine, but there is no taste of wine? Some people want to drink beer by plane, and tell the flight attendants to drink according to their English, but the result is wine, which makes them feel great surprise.

In fact, in the English world, wine refers to wine, not all wines; If other ingredients are added to wine, there are usually other names. So if someone asks: Would you like some wine? Would you like some wine? It's definitely not beer, because the raw materials are different (beer is fermented by wheat). If you don't have to drink, just want to drink, then you should say alcoholic drinks. For example, ask people: Do you want some alcoholic drinks? Alcoholic beverages here refer to general alcoholic beverages, including all kinds of alcohol.

According to the definition of the European Union, "wine" refers to "fresh grapes or grape juice with or without skin, which is a product fermented by all or part of alcohol", that is, "with or without skin" is the manufacturing requirement of grapes. For example, in the fermentation process, red grapes and grape skins are soaked, fermented and brewed together, and no sugar is added in the middle. The brewed wine contains extremely high tannins and pigments, which is called red wine. The alcohol concentration is 1 1%? 14%。 If the peel and juice are fermented together, the peel is taken out after a period of time, and the rest is fermented again, and the finished wine is pink, such as rose wine and red dew wine. If half of the fermentation is bottled, and the later fermentation is carried out in the bottle, so that the carbon dioxide produced by fermentation remains in the bottle, it becomes sparkling wine, such as champagne.

Therefore, wine can be roughly divided into "sparkling wine" and "sparkling wine" according to whether there are "bubbles". Distilled wine includes white wine, red wine and rose wine, while sparkling wine is represented by champagne.

After the wine is brewed, other wines can be added as needed. For example, after adding neutral spirits (such as brandy), it will become sherry, port wine, Ma Sala and other sweet wines with an alcohol concentration of 18%? 22%; Taking white wine as the base wine, adding wormwood and bark spice medicinal liquor to soak, it becomes absinthe; Dupony is based on wine and added with quinine peel and spices. These are all derivatives of wine. As for brandy, it is distilled after grape fermentation, and the alcohol concentration is about 40%.
