That statement was proven a wrong one given out by someone, just to promote old world wines,bringing it back to life,but still.....Originally posted by JLennon:some dieticians believe that 4 glasses max a day is good for you. but this claim is still not scientifically proven.

Anyway,new world wines are excellent for elementary learners.....
There is always no such thing as 'The best wine in the world' because it's very optional.

personally i prefer white wine. not as sophisicated as reds easy to start with. i like muscat, semillon, riesling, white zinfandel. The 1st 3 types are usually sweet, dessert wines. White zinfandel is more on the red, tastes a little "dry" or 'blanc", but is considered a white wine, but also a little sweet. If you like red wine, you may like white zinfandel. Shiraz is also pretty good, i'm trying it recently.
Red wine has more tannic acid, so they tend to be "dry", but not always. I've never tasted a sweet red wine though. So if u like sweet ones, white is a better choice.
For a rough guess on how your wine would taste like, read the label . If citrus fruits are included in the fermentation process, your wine would taste pretty sour. If fruits like cranberry, or other berries, apples etc, it'll taste fruitier, 'nuff said. Peach, stone fruit, would make a sweet wine. etc. but there's one sure way to tell, that is to buy yrself a bottle and try. -

what are the different types, the characteristics and what defines good wine? -
Basic Wine Knowledge (extracted from The Pocket IdiotÂ’s Guide to Choosing Wine)Originally posted by kopiosatu:start shooting...
what are the different types, the characteristics and what defines good wine?
1) What is wine
- Fermented fruit juice
- Fermentation à conversion of grape sugar into alcohol by the interaction of yeast
- Character of wine determined by
- The grape variety and how itÂ’s grown
- The climate and soil where the grape are grown
- The winemakerÂ’s creative or commercial objective and wine making skills
2) Vintage
- The date on the bottle is the wineÂ’s vintage. It tells you the year that the grapes are harvested.
- To determine whether the vintage is a good, great or poor one for the region in question, you need to consult a vintage chart.
3) Types of grapes
3.1) White grapes
3.1.1) Chardonnay (Shar-dor-nay)
- Most Chardonnay receive treatment in oak, thus Chardonnay has a woodsy flavour e.g. vanilla, smoky, spicy, nutty.
- Rich and fruity
- Grows successfully in many countries but famous in Burgundy, France.
3.1.2) Pinot Grigio (Pinot Gris) (Pee-no Gree jio)
- related to Pinot Noir (red wine)
- also known as the Tokay in Alsace, and the Rulander in Germany.
- Comes from Northeastern Italy. But also grown in small quantities in US and California.
3.1.3) Sauvignon Blanc (Saw-vee-non Blunk)
- Wine with a herbaceous, sometimes peppery aroma.
- Higher in acidity than Chardonnay à crisp, light-to-medium-bodied and generally dry.
3.1.4) Riesling (Rees-ling)
- Famous and usually grown in Germany (other places include Alsace in France, Washington and New York)
- Frequently taste like peaches or fresh melons
3.1.5) Gewurztraminer (ga-VERZ-tra-mee-ner)
- Literally means ‘spicy grape from Traminer’
- Deep gold in colour, with the spicy aroma of roses and lychee fruit.
- Dry flavour.
- Grown in Alsace, US, California and Oregon
4.1) Red Grapes
4.1.1) Cabernet Sauvignon
- Offer great depth and intensity of colour, and develop finesse and breed with bottle aging.
- Famous in Bordeaux, France. Also grown in Italy, California, Chile, Argentina.
- High in tannin and medium to full-bodied.
- Spicy, bell-pepper aroma and flavour with high astringency
4.1.2) Merlot
- early ripening, medium-coloured red grape.
- Makes wine which are soft and subtle, yet substantial.
- Finest Merlots possess great depth, complexity and longevity.
- Distinctive herbaceous aroma quite different from the bell pepper quality of the Cabernet.
- Softer in tannins and usually lower in acidity, producing a rounder, fatter and earlier maturing wine.
4.1.3) Pinot Noir
- grown in France
- resembles violets and berries.
- Used as a base for all Champagnes
4.1.4) Zinfandel
- berrylike à blackberry, raspberry, with a hint of spiciness
- popular as a blush wine (named White Zinfandel) -
