The word "wine" with its heavenly flavor, is enjoyed with good dining. When you started drinking wine, you may have known nothing about wine. You may have tasted some good wine that one person offered you at a party or the best one available in a restaurant.
First of all, you need to learn all about wine basics. Wine is normally made from grapes. There are special types of grapes that are only farmed for making wine. These grapes are small with seeds and some sweet too.
Types of Wine
There are five types of wine. Most people know that there is red wine and white wine, but there is also a rose wine, sparkling wine, and dessert wine.
Red wine is made from black grapes, whereas white wine is made from light grapes. Rose wine is also made from black grapes, but it looks pink in color. Because of that, it is called rose wine. Another is sparkling wine, in that it has carbonation in winemaking and gives a sparkling effect in taste. The last type of wine is a dessert wine. They normally use this wine after meals, but in this case, they added extra alcohol to it.
