The difference between natural wine and wine

The difference between natural wine and wine lies in the planting and brewing methods. Natural wine is planted and brewed in the most natural way, without the addition of chemical additives, advocating a return to nature, while ordinary wine is not subject to too many restrictions during the planting and brewing process, and chemical additives can be used.

In order to minimize intervention, the brewing process of natural wine is mostly done manually rather than by machines, such as picking, crushing and pressing, which requires a lot of manpower.

In the process of brewing natural wine, sugar should not be added and acidity should not be adjusted. Pigments and additives to improve the taste should not be added. New oak barrels, oak strips, oak chips or other additives should not be used to add flavor to the wine. Clarification and filtration should be avoided as much as possible.

Compared to ordinary wine, natural wine usually has lower yield, is slightly turbid in appearance, has lighter fruit aroma and stronger yeast flavor, but natural wine has a purer flavor than ordinary wine and is also sought after by many people.

The difference between dry white and dry red wine

The colors are different. Dry white is mainly light yellow and close to colorless, while dry red is mainly red.

The production methods are different. Dry white wine is fermented by using the juice separated from the skin and flesh of light-colored grapes, while dry red wine is fermented by mixing the skin and flesh of dark-colored grapes.

The nutritional content is different. Generally speaking, the nutritional content of dry red wine is slightly higher than that of dry white wine.

The proportions of vitamin B, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, and pantothenic acid contained in dry red wine are higher than those in dry white wine.

Since dry red wine is made from the skin, pulp and juice, its tannin content is relatively high, so dry red wine is more stable than dry white wine.

Dry red wine is best tasted at 16°-18°, while dry white wine is best tasted cool at 8°-10°.

Does wine expire?

Wine will expire. Generally, the shelf life of wine sold on the market is three years. After three years, the quality will deteriorate and it will be considered expired wine. When storing wine, it should be placed upside down in the wine cabinet and the humidity should be maintained at around 70%. Wine comes in three varieties: red, white and rosé.

1. Will expire

Wine will expire. The shelf life of ordinary wine is between two and three years. Wine that is more than three years old has missed the best drinking time and is considered expired. However, wine with collection value will not expire even if it is stored for more than ten years, and the taste will become more and more mellow.

2. Saving method

When storing wine, it should be placed in a wine cabinet or wine cellar to keep the cork moist and prevent the wine from deteriorating due to contact with air. During storage, the temperature should be maintained at around 12 degrees and the humidity at 70 percent.

3. Product classification

There are three types of wine according to color: white wine, red wine and rosé wine. The color of white grapes is yellow, the color of red wine is purple-red or ruby-red, and the color of rosé wine is light red or rose.
