WHAT IS WINE
Can we define wine? It is difficult to find a definition for something so complex and beautiful,but we are going to try, in order to understand and know more about it.
Louis Pasteur defined it as the healthiest and most hygienic drink. A very good definition , but we must be less romantic and more exact. According to the definition reflected in the first statute of the wine (which dates from 1932 and is currently the only one admitted by O.I.V.( Interncional Office of the grapevine and wine) ) wine is the resulting drink of a complete or partial fermentation of fresh grape or mosto (grape juice) . It is a completely natural product, coming from a beautiful fruit (grape) and turned into wine by a totally natural process (fermentation)
Here it is a brief explanation of some useful concepts that help us to a better understanding of the world of wine.All of them are explained in the statute of wine.
