What kind of wine?

There are many different types of wine, which can be classified from many angles.

Classification of 1. by production process

Brewed wine (fermented wine)

Fruit brewing wine: mainly fruit as raw materials, after fermentation production of low-alcohol beverages, such as wine.

Cereal brewing wine: low-alcohol beverages produced after fermentation with grains as raw materials, such as beer, sake, and rice wine (using glutinous rice, wheat, corn, etc. as raw materials, brewed through saccharification, fermentation, aging and other processes).

distilled liquor

Cereal distilled liquor: liquor obtained from grains as raw materials and then distilled after fermentation, such as vodka (using grains or potatoes as raw materials), Chinese liquor (using sorghum, wheat, corn, etc. as raw materials, after distillation, fermentation, aging and other processes), whiskey (using barley, rye, oats, wheat, corn and other grains as raw materials, after fermentation, distillation and aging in oak barrels, blending).

Fruit distilled wine: fruit as raw material, after fermentation and then distilled wine, such as brandy (grapes as raw materials, after fermentation, distillation, aging, blending and other processes refined).

Fruit miscellaneous distilled liquor: other raw materials (such as sugar cane molasses) as the basis, after fermentation and distillation of wine, such as rum (also known as rum, blue wine, sugar cane molasses as raw material production of a distilled liquor).

mixed wine (prepared wine)

Mixed wine is the abbreviation of mixed wine and mixed wine. It is produced by brewing wine or distilled wine as "base wine" and adding alcohol or non-alcoholic substances. Its color and taste are rich, and the alcohol content is between brewing wine and distilled wine.

Common aperitif (such as taste, fennel), dessert wine (such as Madeira, port, sherry) and liqueur (also known as cocktail).

2. classified by raw material

Grain wine: the use of grains such as wheat, barley, sorghum and other raw materials for brewing wine, such as Chinese liquor, whiskey.

Fruit wine: the use of fruits such as grapes, apples, cherries and other raw materials for the brewing of wine, such as wine, cider.

Grain wine: wine brewed using alternative food ingredients, such as sugarcane wine (rum) and tequila (also known as "Tequila", with agave as the main raw material).

Classification of 3. by alcohol degree

Low alcohol: low alcohol content, usually below 20%, such as beer and wine.

High alcohol: alcohol content is higher, usually more than 20%, such as most distilled liquor.

4. other classifications

Classified by region: such as French cognac, Scotch whisky, etc., these wines are famous for their unique flavor and brewing process.

According to the classification of flavor: such as Chinese Maotai-flavor liquor and Fen-flavor liquor, there are significant differences in brewing raw materials, brewing technology, flavor characteristics and so on.

There are many kinds of wine, and each wine has its own unique brewing process and flavor characteristics. When tasting and choosing wine, you can choose according to your taste preferences and drinking scenes.
