Choosing wine in the store, focus on the occasion and format of your event. An aperitif and any party require champagne or good sparkling to create a mood.

Grapes are harvested by hand or with the help of special machines, bring to the winery, sort, sometimes even wash and dried. White grapes are usually separated from the ridges (branches), the red grapes can vinegenitate or remove the ridges, or the traditional method of whole clusters. Then grapes or whole clusters are pressed to get juice, or grape wort, and they are sent to fermentation, as a result of which the sugar contained in berries turns into alcohol and a lot of new aromatic and other components are formed. Red wines in the fermentation process and after it insist with the skin of the berries (on the mezage), because it is in it containing anthocian painting that give the color of the blame. Pink wines make red grapes with short insistence on the mezg. Only in one case, red and white mixed for the production of pink wine - for the production of champagne wines. Fashionable now orange wine is wine from white grapes, vinted "in the Red Method", that is, with skin, bones and ridges. The resulting wine is then sent to an excerpt for a different period in different containers, depending on the style of the style and the nature of wine, in steel tanks, cement containers or oak barrels. Whatever the method should always need to remember that good wine can only be made of good grapes. "Wine is born on the vineyard", as good winemakers say.
