Wine production begins with the harvesting of grapes, typically from vineyards. The grapes are then crushed to release their juice, which is essential for fermentation. This process can vary depending on the type of wine being produced, such as red wine or white wine. After crushing, yeast is added to the grape juice to initiate fermentation, converting sugars into alcohol. The wine is then aged in barrels or tanks, allowing flavors to develop. Finally, the wine is filtered and bottled, ready for distribution and consumption.
