Sugar's role in dictating the final alcohol content of the wine (and such its resulting body and "mouth-feel") sometimes encourages winemakers to add sugar (usually sucrose) during winemaking in a process known as chaptalization solely in order to boost the alcohol content – chaptalization does not increase the sweetness of a wine.

Grape-treading or grape-stomping is part of the method of maceration used in traditional wine-making. [1] [2] [3] Rather than being crushed in a wine press or by another mechanized method, grapes are repeatedly trampled in vats by barefoot participants to release their juices and begin fermentation.
Grapes ripening on the vine. In viticulture, ripeness is the completion of the ripening process of wine grapes on the vine which signals the beginning of harvest.What exactly constitutes ripeness will vary depending on what style of wine is being produced (sparkling, still, fortified, rosé, dessert wine, etc.) and what the winemaker and viticulturist personally believe constitutes ripeness.
There are more than 10,000 varieties of grapes grown globally, but only a small minority makes its way to home kitchens. Many varieties are used exclusively for the production of wine, others are ...
The mass difference between equivalent volumes of must and water is almost entirely due to the dissolved sugar in the must. Since the alcohol in wine is produced by fermentation of the sugar, the Oechsle scale is used to predict the maximal possible alcohol content of the finished wine. This measure is commonly used to select when to harvest ...
Chaptalization is the process of adding sugar to unfermented grape must in order to increase the alcohol content after fermentation. The technique is named after its developer, the French chemist Jean-Antoine-Claude Chaptal. [1] This process is not intended to make the wine sweeter, but rather to provide more sugar for the yeast to ferment into ...
