Winemaking is the process of turning grapes into wine. It begins with harvesting ripe grapes, which are then crushed to release their juice. This juice is fermented with the help of yeast, which converts the sugars in the juice into alcohol. The fermentation process can take several weeks, and the result is a young wine. After fermentation, the wine is often aged in barrels to develop its flavors. Once it reaches the desired taste, it is filtered and bottled. The final product can vary widely, leading to different types of wine, such as red, white, or sparkling, each with its unique characteristics.
