Wine is an alcoholic drink typically made from fermented grapes. Yeast consumes the sugar in the grapes and converts it to ethanol and carbon dioxide, releasing heat in the process. Different varieties of grapes and strains of yeasts are major factors in different styles of wine.
3. Introduction
Wine has been a popular beverage of mankind for
thousands of years. Our natural fondness for this drink
stems from its wonderful taste, its nutritional
properties and not least its psychotropic (intoxicating)
effects. Wine has been considered to be mainly red in
ancient Egypt linked with the blood of Osiris, the God
of resurrection. No text that refers to white wines from
the Dynastic Period (3150–332 BC) exists. The first
white wine from ancient Egypt was made near
Alexandria during the third century AD.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a
most common yeast involved
in winemaking.

8. Viticulture is the cultivation and
harvesting of grapes. It is a branch
of the science of horticulture.
Viticulture Factors that influence
grape’s flavor
The climate of the vineyard’s region.
The humidity of the region
drainage around the vines
Sun exposure.

9. HARVESTING
The harvesting of wine grapes is one of
the most crucial steps in the process of
wine-making.
The time of harvest is determined
primarily by the ripeness of the grape as
measured by sugar, acid, etc.
Grapes are picked up by hand or
mechanically.

10. Stemming is the separation of the
stem and grapes.
A horizontal press squeezes the
broken grapes, separating the
fresh juice from the skins, this
process is called crushing.
After the crushing starts the
fermentation process.

11. FERMENTATION
The process of fermentation in
winemaking turns grape juice into an
alcoholic beverage.
By putting grape juice into a container at
the right temperature, and adding yeast
which turns the sugar in the juice into
alcohol and carbon dioxide the grape
juice will ferment.
Sugar and acids that naturally react with
wild yeasts.
Fermentations can take from 10 to 21
days to convert natural sugar to alcohol.

12. The purpose of draining and
pressing is to separate the wine
from the skins.
Draining Liquid wine is drained
from the vat without being
pressed and goes into barrels
(free-run wine). The remaining
pulp retains about 20% of the
wine.

DRAINING
13. PRESSING
The remaining pulp, after draining is
pressed to squeeze out the press wine.
When you'll see a winery pull out the
grape presses and start pressing the wine
must.
The must is dumped into the pressing
basket. Immediately, free-run juice will
start flowing from the grape press spout.
The remaining pulp, after draining, is
pressed to squeeze out the press wine.
The free-run wine and press wine always
from the same source, are mixed together
in appropriate ratios to obtain the desired
balance by mixing.

14. In winemaking, clarification and
stabilization are the processes
removing of the solids remaining.
They may involve in fining,
filtration, centrifugation, flotation,
refrigeration, pasteurization,
and/or barrel maturation and
racking.

15. AGING
The final stage in vinification is aging the
wine.
Wine aging refers to a group of reactions that
tend to improve the taste and flavor of a wine
over time.
The term wine ‘maturation’ refers to changes
in a wine after fermentation and before
bottling.
The clarified wine is transferred into either
wooden barrels or metal vats in which the
wine is allowed to further mature and
develop flavors.

16. A dose of sulfite is added to help
preserve the wine and prevent
unwanted fermentation in the bottle.
The wine bottles then are
traditionally sealed with a cork.
