Wine has been loved by many throughout the centuries. Though the technology has changed, the same system is still used to produce the fruit based libation. Most wineries will employ a chief winemaker to be certain that the grapes they grow are turned into delicious wines, and here's how they do it:
First off you need to grow the appropriate grape variety for the wine you wish to produce. A few of these kinds include Pinot, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, and Shiraz. Typically a wine would be made from one of those varieties, but it is also quote common for 2 types to be combined to make a completely unique blend of flavour.
After picking the ripe grapes, the subsequent stage of the method is to crush the grapes. This used to be done by treading on the grapes with bare feet, and it's still done this way by some small wineries, but the bigger wineries use automated machines to smash the grapes.
The crushed grapes are then placed into huge containers and left to ferment for a period of time. Some wine growers will add additional yeast to the mix to accelerate the fermentation process, while others choose to leave it as is. The natural sugars in the grapes produces CO2 so it is vital the crushed grapes are left in an open container, or a container that has a vent for the carbon-dioxide to flee.
After the winemaker is satisfied with the fermentation process the wine is placed into large wooden barrels and left to further mature. The average size of these barrels is between 220 and 250 litres, so they're quite enormous. The wine is then placed into smaller glass bottles and are sealed with an old style cork or a metal cap.
If the method is carried out well, the end result will be a fabulous wine like a Penfolds Shiraz.
