People around the world enjoy
the taste of wine which is a sought after alcoholic beverage. Wine is usually
obtained by the fermentation of grapes. These days' fruits are added to the
wine to enhance its taste. The tastes of all wines are not the same because
different ingredients are added to different types of wines. The taste also
depends on the quantity of the ingredients added and also the type of grapes
used. Grapes differ in taste based on the region in which it is being
cultivated. This change of taste from region to region is also another cause
for taste changes in different wines. The process of fermentation, the period
of fermentation and the storage conditions also lead to the varying taste of
wines. An individual who is well versed and knowledgeable about wines is called
a connoisseur. The connoisseur would be able to give exact details like the
type of wine, the year in which it was produced and the vineyard from where it
came, in just one small sip.
Wines are of many types and they are differentiated into white wine and red wine. The grapes that we consume are generally not the grapes used in wine production. The different categories of wine are Merlot, Bordeaux, Cabernet sauvignon, Shiraz, Champagne,Chianti, Madeira, Port, Chardonnay, Sauvignon, Rose, Sparkling, Shiraz, Blancand Zinfandel. Another type of categorization of wine is by means of being sweet, dry and sherry. Each of these different types of wines have different flavors and care has to be taken to ensure that the vines are matched with the correct food so as to bring out the proper flavor.

which is sweeter than all the other types and also is very light. It is colored
a light red and is low in acidity. It is also characterized by a sweet, soft
and beautiful taste.

all red wines. Sometimes you even get to see them in deep purple. One look of
it can tell you that they are full-bodied and their flavor is fruity usually.

by the smell, but on tasting you generally get smokiness or sometimes a tinge
of pineapple to help you identify it.
