� . � Red Wine:
� Grapes for red wine are harvested, crushed.
� The must is left with the skins during fermentation to produce the red color.
� Red wine is commonly aged in oak barrels for 6 to 24 months.
� The wine is bottled. � Many red wines are ready to
drink after bottling. � However, some red wines, such
as Cabernet Sauvignon, will benefit with some bottle age.

� Blush Wine: � Red grapes are harvested for Rose
or Blush wine. � Before fermentation the must is left
with the skin for a short time. � The must is fermented in stainless
steel tanks. � If a sweet wine is desired then the
fermentation is stopped before all of the sugar is consumed.
� The wine is bottled � Blush wines are not
commonly bottle aged but consumed within 3 years of bottling.
� Champagne (Sparking) Wine: � Grapes for sparking wine are
harvested and pressed. � It is fermented like a white wine. � More sugar and yeast is added to
the wine. � The wine is bottled. � The additional sugar and yeast
produce carbon dioxide, which carbonates the wine.
� The second fermentation is stopped.
� Most sparkling wines are made to drink young. But, fine Champagne will benefit with additional bottle age.

Making fortified wine
� Fortified Wine: � Grapes for fortified wines are
harvested like for other wines. � Depending on the type of wine,
the must may be handled in different ways to intensify the flavor before and during fermentation.
� Most fortified wines have an addition of alcohol (brandy) to stop fermentation and increase the alcohol content.
� Fortified wine maybe aged in oak barrels before bottling.
� Many fortified wines will benefit with bottle age.

Summary
� Wine grapes are harvested either manually or mechanically. � Manually harvested grapes are usually preferred. � Wine can be made from many fruits and vegetables. � However, wine from grapes can possess a good balance of three
important qualities: sweetness, acidity and alcohol. � After harvesting, grapes are destemmed, crushed (or pressed) to
produce the juice, referred to as “must”. � The must is fermented and sometimes aged in oak to add flavor
and aroma in some wines before bottling. � Sparkling wines such as Champagne are made by imposing a
secondary fermentation in the bottle to produce carbonation. � Most wine is made to be consumed within 3 years of production. � However, some fine wines may gain special qualities by further
bottle aging.
