Winemaking

Winemaking, also known as vinification, is the process of producing wine through controlled fermentation of grape juice. This ancient practice involves harvesting grapes, crushing them to extract the juice, fermenting sugars into alcohol using yeast, and aging the wine in barrels or tanks before bottling. Winemaking combines both science and artistry, influenced by factors such as grape variety, climate, soil conditions, fermentation techniques, and aging processes.
