At time of harvest, there is usually an equal amount of glucose and fructose molecules in the grape; however, as the grape overripens the level of fructose will become higher. In wine, fructose can taste nearly twice as sweet as glucose and is a key component in the creation of sweet dessert wines. During fermentation, glucose is consumed first ...
Fructose (/ ˈ f r ʌ k t oʊ s,-oʊ z /), or fruit sugar, is a ketonic simple sugar found in many plants, where it is often bonded to glucose to form the disaccharide sucrose.It is one of the three dietary monosaccharides, along with glucose and galactose, that are absorbed by the gut directly into the blood of the portal vein during digestion.

White wine is made from white or black grapes (but always with white flesh; the grapes with coloured flesh are called Teinturier, meaning coloured juice). Once harvested, the grapes are pressed, and only the juice, called wort, is extracted. The wort is put into tanks for fermentation where sugar is transformed into alcohol by yeast present on ...
Fructose is a natural sugar found in fruits, vegetables, and honey. Fructose can be bad for your health when consumed as part of high-fructose corn syrup in processed foods.
A Spanish sparkling Cava with its sweetness level (semi-seco) listed on the labelAmong the components influencing how sweet a wine will taste is residual sugar. It is usually measured in grams of sugar per litre of wine, often abbreviated to g/L or g/L. Residual sugar typically refers to the sugar remaining after fermentation stops, or is stopped, but it can also result from the addition of ...
