Once they reach maturity, a couple of years after they are planted, they produce a crop of grapes every year. Stages of grape growing (3) - correct answer s Flowering, flowers become grapes, grapes ripen flowering - correct answer s This is part of a cluster of grapevine flowers. It is made up of many individual flowers, and each flower will become a grape. flowers become grapes - correct answer s After flowering, each flower is transformed into a small grape. All grapes are hard and green at this stage.

DETAILED VERIFIED ANSWERS (100% CORRECT ANSWERS) Grapes Ripen - correct answer s As grapes ripen, a number of changes occur:

• The grapes swell with water
• Sugar levels in the grapes rise
• Acid levels in the grapes fall
• Flavors become riper
• White grapes change in color from green to golden
• Black grapes change in color from green to purple Where grapes grow - correct answer s Grape vines need the right levels of sunlight and heat to grow and produce good quality fruit. The chart below shows that, as grapes ripen, sugar levels rise and acidity levels fall. If it is too cold or too hot the flavor characteristics of the grape, and ultimately the wine, will be out of balance. Grape vines grow best in areas where the winter is cold enough for them to rest. As a result, most grape vines grow at latitudes on the globe that provide the grapes with the correct amount of sunlight, heat and water. Latitudes where grapes grow - correct answer s Between latitudes of 30-50 degrees in both hemispheres Effect of climate on grapes - correct answer s Examples of cool climate growing regions - correct answer s Germany and northern France Examples of warm climate growing regions - correct answer s Australia and parts of California White wine making steps - correct answer s 1. crushing 2.pressing

9. bottling Types of wine - correct answer s Still Sparkling Fortified Still wine - correct answer s The majority of wines fall into the still wine category. Still wines are what you would normally think of when someone says, 'wine'. They are still and not sparkling (bubbly), and are between 8% and 15% abv. The majority are between 11.5% and 14% abv. Examples of still wine - correct answer s Sancerre and Burgundy from France Rioja from Spain Chianti from Italy Sparkling wine - correct answer s Sparkling wines are wines that are bubbly or fizzy. The fizz is caused by carbon dioxide gas that is produced by fermentation and trapped in the wine. When the bottle is opened, the gas escapes as bubbles in the wine. Examples of sparkling wine - correct answer s The best-known example of this type of wine is Champagne from France. Other well-known examples are: Cava from Spain Prosecco from Italy Fortified wine - correct answer s These wines have had extra alcohol added to them and, therefore, have higher levels of alcohol, ranging from 15% to 22% abv.

As you learned earlier, the color in black grapes is in the skins. Therefore, if the skins are separated from the juice before fermentation, the result would be a white wine. Examples of white wines - correct answer s Examples of white wines include: Chablis from France (made from the Chardonnay grape) Wines made from the Riesling grape Red Wines - correct answer s red wines must be made using black grapes. The colored grape skins stay with the grape juice during fermentation, bringing color to the wine. Examples of red wine - correct answer s Examples of red wines include: Rioja from Spain Wine made from the Cabernet Sauvignon grape Rose wine - correct answer s Rosé wines are made from black grapes. The grape juice is left in contact with the grape skins for a short period before the juice is drained. As a result, the juice is only lightly colored by the black skins. Examples or rose - correct answer s White Zinfandel is an example of a rosé wine. Notable characteristics of wine - correct answer s color, notable structural characteristics, typical aromas and flavors Color - correct answer s It's the "style" of wine.......white, red, rose Notable structural characteristics - correct answer s sweetness, acidity, tannin, alch, body, aromas and flavors typical aromas and flavors - correct answer s Come from a variety of sources:

• grapes themselves
• during ripening
• from winemaking process
• maturation Fruit, oak(cedar, spices, cloves coconut vanilla)

DETAILED VERIFIED ANSWERS (100% CORRECT ANSWERS) other(grass, flowers, herbs, vegetables, earth, mushrooms, leather) Notable structural characteristics : Sweetness - correct answer s Sweetness is caused by the presence of sugar in the wine. Dry wines(majority...yeast converts all of the sugar to alcohol) have no sugar or very low levels. Sweet wines have high levels of sugar.(yeast dies off before converting all of the sugar to alcohol). MED SWEET usually white or rose (yeast is usually removed before sugar is converted to alcohol OR grape juice is added. Example of Sweet wine is a German Reisling Notable structural characteristics : acidity - correct answer s comes directly from the grape juice. Gives wines a refreshing characteristic. It is easy to recognize acidity because it makes your mouth water. Too much acidity can make a wine taste unpleasantly acidic. If there is too little acidity, a wine loses its refreshing characteristic. Very important in sweet wines as it provides balance and keeping a wine from being grossly sweet. Examples of wines with high acidity include: Chablis Chianti Wines made from the grape varieties Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Cabernet Sauvignon or Pinot Noir. Notable structural characteristics : Tannin - correct answer s Tannin is a characteristic of red wines that comes from the skins of the grapes. The level of tannin in a wine depends on the grape variety that is used and how the wine is made. Thin-skinned grapes like Pinot Noir tend to have less tannin while thick-skinned grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon have high tannins Tannin can taste bitter, but mostly they are a structural characteristic of a wine that you feel rather than taste. Tannin cause your mouth to feel dry. Low Tannin=slightly dry med T=drying hight T=very drying High Tannin=Red Bordeaux/Chianti Italy

DETAILED VERIFIED ANSWERS (100% CORRECT ANSWERS) Low Tannin=Beaujolias France/Pinot Noir Notable structural characteristics : ALCH - correct answer s The majority of still and sparkling wines have a level of alcohol that is between 11.5% and 14% abv. However, some wines can reach as high as 15% abv. Others can be as low as 8% abv. High Alcohol=Chateauneuf du Pape Low Alchohol=White Zin from CA Notable structural characteristics : Body - correct answer s Body is a term that is widely used to describe the overall feel of a wine in your mouth. There are many factors that contribute towards this effect and so it is easier to ask yourself how mouth-filling the wine is. Full-bodied wines feel viscous and mouth-filling Light-bodied wines feel more delicate Medium-bodied wines have some weight but do not coat your palate Think of Full fat or cream milk vs skim Examples: Light-bodied wines include Pinot Grigio from Italy and Beaujolais. Medium-bodied wines include Sancerre and Côtes du Rhône. Full-bodied wines include Cabernet Sauvignon from California and Sauternes. Notable structural characteristics : Aromas and flavors - correct answer s The aromas and flavors of wines can come from a variety of sources. Some come from the grapes themselves; others develop during ripening, winemaking and maturation. Fruit - The vast majority of wines will have aromas and flavors of fruit. The type of fruit will depend on the grape variety, for example, wines made from the grape variety Cabernet Sauvignon have blackcurrant aromas and flavors. It will also be influenced by the ripeness of the grapes. For example, Chardonnay grown in a cool climate shows aromas and flavors of green fruits (apple) and citrus fruits (lemon). Chardonnay grapes grown in a warm climate show stone fruits (peach) and tropical fruits (pineapple). When writing your tasting notes, try to list at least two fruit aromas and two fruit flavors. Oak - Wine can be fermented and/or matured in oak barrels. Sometimes this will be stated on the label, but it is not required information. Oak gives wine flavors such as cedar, baking spice, cloves, coconut and vanilla.

DETAILED VERIFIED ANSWERS (100% CORRECT ANSWERS) Other - The variety of aromas and flavors that can be found in different wines is part of what makes them so interesting. These 'other' aromas and flavors can include grass, flowers, herbs, vegetables, earth, mushroom and leather. Not every wine will have "other" flavors or aromas, but many will. Remember, we often taste the things we smell, so you will likely find that your aromas and flavors are similar or the same.
