Type of Wines

Wines - An alcoholic beverage that is produced from partial an/ or complete fermentation of the juice of fresh ripe grapes. Wine is usually fermented from grapes.

General Types of Wine

Table Wine

Appropriate with the main course. Includes still white, red, rose, blush or light white. They are called natural or still wines because they are produced out of natural fermentation.

Appetizer (Aromatized) Wine

Made at the same way as natural wines but during fermentation, aromatics are added. These types of wine have no production and no vintage. They are usually served as aperitif. Appetizer wine is usually served before meal to stimulate appetite.

Dessert or Fortified Wine

Appropriate after dinner or to complement a dessert. Includes sweet white table wines and fortified wines, examples are port wine and ice wine.

Sparkling Wine

Considered as "King of all Beverages". Its quality is perfected by a secondary fermentation in the bottle. It can be served any time. Example - Champagne.
