I believe that you have a certain understanding of red wine and white wine, today we will introduce sweet wine, fortified wine and ice wine.
Sweet wines are sweeter than ordinary wines. Sweet wines have attractive aromas, complex flavors, velvety textures and a delicious, memorable finish.
Sweet wine is mainly divided into four categories: late pick sweet wine, expensive rot sweet wine, raisin sweet wine and ice wine.
In addition, port is a fortified wine, but because of its natural sweetness, we also classify it as a sweet wine.
Sweet wines can be enjoyed on a single drink or with a variety of desserts. They are also a great choice as an aperitif.
Of course, different styles of sweet wine with different desserts will highlight their unique flavor.
Fortified WINES HAVE A HIGHER ALCOHOL CONTENT THAN OTHER TABLE WINES AND HAVE GAINED MORE MARKET SHARE IN Europe, MOSTLY BECAUSE FORTIFIED WINES ARE EASIER TO TRANSPORT.
Even when shipped, the wines rarely suffer damage.
There are four famous fortified wines in the world: Madeira Wine from Portugal, Marsala Wine from Italy, Port Wine from Portugal and Sherry Wine from Spain.
Ice wine is a sweet wine with very high residual sugar and a very sweet taste.
It is made from grapes that freeze naturally on the vine.
Canada and Germany are the two largest producers of ice wine in the world.
However, through the analysis of sales data in recent years, Canada’s ice wine production far exceeds Germany’s, has become the world’s largest ice wine producer.
In both the Niagara Peninsula and Colombia’s Okanagan Valley, the grapes used to make ice wine are all picked by hand.
Because of the cold temperatures, the grapes are frozen on the trees, so the water in the grapes is locked and the sugar is concentrated, so the wine is very sweet.
Generally, grapes must be frozen at ?8¡ãC (17¡ãF) before the wine can be called ice wine.
In Canada, ice wines are mostly made from Riesling and Vidal grapes, although Cabernet Franc is sometimes used, which gives the wine a peachy color.
Because the production of ice wine requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and its output is very low, so ice wine has become one of the most expensive wines in the world.
Although the acidity of ice wine is high, the sugar content is also high, which makes the high sugar content of ice wine perfectly balanced with the high acidity, and the taste is fresh and the finish is long.
