Four Season’s also conducts some very good Food & Wine tasting events across India to spread the awareness about wine.
First of all let me start by introducing Four Season’s and wine to my blog readers.
What is wine?
Wine is a product obtained from total or partial alcoholic fermentation of fresh grapes, whether or not crushed, or of grape must. – Source WSET
Types of Wine
Still Wines:
White Wine : Wine that’s made from light-skinned grapes or from dark-skinned grapes whose juice doesn’t contain any extracted color from the skin
Red Wine : Wine having a red color derived from skins of dark-colored grapes.
Rose Wine : Pinkish wine from red grapes whose skins were in contact with the grape juice for a very short time
Sparkling Wines:
Sparkling Wines is a wine with significant levels of carbon dioxide in it making it fizzy. The carbon dioxide may result from natural fermentation, either in a bottle, as with the méthode champenoise, in a large tank designed to withstand the pressures involved (as in the Charmat process), or as a result of carbon dioxide injection.
Fortified Wines:
Fortified wines are created by the addition of brandy or neutral spirit to the grape juice about halfway through the first fermentation. This raises the alcohol level- thereby killing the yeast – and also preserves the sugar in the unfinished wine. Fortified wines can be white, red or Rose.
Sweet wines typically served with dessert. Despite their name they are often best appreciated alone or with fruit or bakery sweets.
History of Wines:
The history of wine in many ways coincides with the history of the western world. Historians generally agree that wine was probably discovered accidentally in the region between the Nile and Persian Gulf during the time of the world’s first civilizations between 4000 and 3000 B.C. As small settlements grew into city-states and trade began to develop on a large scale throughout the Mediterranean, the grape enjoyed transport by peoples such as the Phoenicians, Greeks and Romans until the knowledge of wine making spread throughout the Mediterranean region and eventually through much of Europe.
