Learn the wine making process step by step in the simplest terms possible from grape to glass. How is red wine made? How is white wine made?
There are five basic stages to the wine making process which begins with harvesting or picking. [2] After the harvest, the grapes are taken into a winery and prepared for primary ferment; at this stage red wine making diverges from white wine making.
Harvesting, Crushing, Pressing, Alcoholic Fermentation, Storage/Maturation and Bottling are the 6 steps. They will vary depending on the wine styles. Let’s find out more! The winemaking process is where all the magic happens and that’s where a lot of “ah-ha” moments happened for me. From the grape juice, alcohol is produced.
wine-producing processes A simplified schematic illustrating the slightly different processes used to produce white and red wines. Top left, red and white grapes used for white wines are stemmed and crushed, before going into a horizontal press for further crushing. The resulting juice then flows to a vat for fermenting.
Louis Pasteur’s discovery of germ theory led to the modern process of winemaking: growing and harvesting, crushing and pressing, fermentation, clarification, and aging and bottling.
How is red wine made? Follow along and see how red wine is made in a step-by-step illustrated guide from grapes to glass.
A picture guide of how wine is made, from picking grapes to bottling wine. Depending on the grape, the region and the kind of wine that a winemaker wishes to produce, the exact steps in the harvesting process will vary in time, technique and technology.
After some time has passed, “voila!” You have wine. But what is winemaking really like? In truth, winemaking is an arduous process of observations, sanitization, and practices all for the purpose of shepherding billions of microbes through the bewildering process of fermentation.
Understanding the science behind wine-making can enhance your appreciation for the complexities and nuances of wine. In this detailed look at the winemaking process, we’ll explore each step from grape cultivation to fermentation and aging, shedding light on the fascinating journey from vine to bottle.
How to “make wine” out of fruit grown on vines? What vinification process is used to produce this age-old drink from juicy grapes? What does direct pressing, malolactic fermentation, pellicular maceration, wine aging, or varietal blending involve?
