Wine
Wine is an generally an alcoholic juice or beverage made from fermentation of grape juice. There can be many different kinds of grapes that are used, and sometimes no grapes at all. Grape wine is made from fermented crushed grapes using some type of yeast that consume the natural sugar in the grapes and convert that sugar into alcohol. Many different varieties of grapes and different strains of yeast are used depending on the kind of wine that is desired.

Grapes are often used in wine since the natural chemical balance is perfect so they can ferment without adding sugars, acids, enzymes, or other nutrients to make the process work. Other fruits such as apples, pears, and berries can also be fermented, but the resultant wines are normally also named after the fruit they are made from such as plum wine, apple wine, blueberry wine, or elderberry wine.

Some other types of wine like barley wine and sake rice wine are made from grains or starchy ingredients. They are more like beer than wine.. For these wines, the term wine refers more to the alcohol content and not the production process that creates them.

Wine is said to have a very beneficial effect when taken in moderation. There are some antioxidents found in dark and red wine that is said to help the body in many ways. If you are interested in this benefit, but prefer to not drink alcohol, then you should consider some of the different types of non-alcholic wines that are available. Most taste very good and are cheaper than the regular wines as well.
