Chapter 01 · What you taste

Colour comes from the skin

Wine is fermented grape juice, and almost all grapes have white juice. The colour comes from the skin: if it ferments along, the wine turns red; a few hours gives rosé. Dry or sweet is about the sugar left after fermentation, not about fruit. A wine can be full of fruit and still bone dry.

Chapter 02 · The colours

Red, white, rosé and bubbles

Champagne gets its bubbles from a second fermentation in the bottle, in that one French region. Cava is made the same way in Spain. Prosecco ferments a second time in a sealed tank and gives a looser, fruitier mousse. Rosé comes from black grapes with brief skin contact. Dessert wine is sweet thanks to dried, frozen or late-harvested grapes.

Chapter 03 · The grapes

From chardonnay to tempranillo

A French label usually shows the region, outside Europe the grape. Red burgundy is pinot noir, chablis is chardonnay. The same variety tastes different from place to place: chardonnay from Chablis is taut and mineral, from a warm area fuller and riper. Soil, climate and the choice of oak or steel matter just as much as the grape.

Chapter 04 · The countries

Region on the label, or grape

In France, Italy and Spain the region on the label says more than the country: bordeaux, chianti, rioja. In Argentina, Chile, South Africa, Australia and the United States the grape comes first. Germany, Austria and the Netherlands also have their own regions and their own rules.

Chapter 05 · Dry or sweet

Dry, medium-sweet or truly sweet

The sugar left after fermentation determines whether a wine is dry or sweet. Ripe fruit and high alcohol can make a dry wine smell sweet; acidity makes a wine with some residual sugar feel dry. Looking for a wine to go with a dish? Feel free to ask in the shop; we are happy to help you choose.
