Wine Basics
a beginner's guide to wine
Whether you're new to wine or a seasoned connoisseur, we've put together some tips to help guide you through the maze of information. Technically, wine is an alcoholic drink that is made from the juice of fermented grapes. However these grapes are not the kind you would typically find at your neighborhood store. They are smaller, sweeter, and even contain seeds. The grapes also have more sugar, helping to enhance the flavor during fermentation.
Wine is proudly produced in many countries around the world, with the top five nations being Italy, France, Spain, USA and Argentina. Within each county are hundreds of vineyards, each boasting their unique qualities of flavor and aroma.
