Wine is the fermented product of the grape.
The essence of the process of wine-making is
as follows:
The grapes are collected and the juice pressed out either by treading or by more or less developed mechanical contrivances.
The juice or 'must' ferments which is to say that the sugar in the grape juice, is converted into alcohol. The chemistry of fermentation the action of yeast is a complex matter.
It is sufficient here to say that it is a bacteriological
process in which living micro-organisms increase and multiply, needing the active cooperation of oxygen from the air.

The wine cellar
There is little to say about the wine-cellar save that it should be of equable temperature, 53� to 58� Fahrenheit. Depth underground will preserve it from climatic changes of temperature and from undue vibration. It is necessary to see that no heating apparatus is in any way affecting it.
Wine contains living organisms, and substantial changes of temperature can easily change their condition materially. The cellar must be dry.
It is important that every bottle or group of bottles should be readily accessible without moving other bottles. The wine, once binned, should be left undisturbed so far as is possible till it is drunk.

Wine is a pleasant stimulant to four of our five basic senses, as well as to the human spirit. Wine has a nearly limitless variety of flavors. Due to its origin as a product of soil, geography, climate and vintage conditions, grape variety, production technology and aging regimen, it offers more variations and possibilities for sensual appeal than possibly any other stimulus.

When word got out about the health benefits of wine, most wine drinkers stopped swirling for a long minute and took notice.
It was the mid 90s when story of the "French Paradox" poured from all media sources, and wine drinkers across the world swirled and sipped and rejoiced.
