                                                  WINE

WINE IS AN ALCOHOLIC DRINK THAT IS MOST OFTEN MADE FROM THE JUICE OF GRAPES.
WINE GRAPES ARE PLACED IN LARGE CONTAINERS, THEN CRUSHED OR PRESSED TO REMOVE THEIR JUICE. IF WHITE WINE
IS BEING MADE, THE GRAPE SKINS ARE TAKEN OUT OF THE JUICE. FOR RED WINE, THE SKINS ARE LEFT IN. THE JUICE
IS THEN FERMENTED. FERMENTATION TAKES PLACE WHEN YEAST TURNS THE NATURAL SUGARS FOUND IN GRAPES INTO
ALCOHOL. THE SKINS OF GRAPES HAVE YEAST ON THEM, SO YEAST DOES NOT HAVE TO BE ADDED TO MAKE RED WINE
BUT IS ADDED TO MAKE WHITE WINE. FERMENTATION TAKES FROM 10 TO 30 DAYS.
AFTER THE GRAPE JUICE HAS FERMENTED, ANY MATERIAL THAT HAS SETTLED TO THE BOTTOM OF THE CONTAINER,
INCLUDING MOST OF THE YEAST, IS FILTERED OUT, OR REMOVED. THEN THE WINE IS PUT INTO LARGE WOODEN
CONTAINERS AND LEFT TO AGE. WHITE WINES DO NOT NEED TO BE LEFT VERY LONG, WHILE RED WINES ARE USUALLY LEFT
FOR TWO TO THREE YEARS BEFORE THEY ARE BOTTLED. ONCE THEY ARE BOTTLED, SOME RED WINES ARE AGED UP TO 20
YEARS BEFORE THEY ARE DRUNK.
WILD GRAPES WERE DISCOVERED ABOUT 6,000 YEARS AGO BY PEOPLE LIVING IN WHAT IS NOW IRAN AND IRAQ.
THEY PICKED THESE GRAPES AND LEARNED HOW TO MAKE THEM INTO WINE. THEIR KNOWLEDGE AND THE SEEDS OF
THESE WILD GRAPES WERE PASSED DOWN OVER THE CENTURIES, LIKELY BY TRADERS, TO OTHER PEOPLE, INCLUDING THE
ANCIENT EGYPTIANS, GREEKS, AND ROMANS. THEY GREW THESE GRAPES WHERE THEY LIVED AND MADE WINE FROM
THEM. THE CLIMATE AND SOIL OF DIFFERENT REGIONS PRODUCES DIFFERENT KINDS OF WINES.
WINE GRAPES GROW BEST IN A TEMPERATE CLIMATE, WHICH IS FOUND IN REGIONS WHERE TEMPERATURES NEVER GET
VERY HOT OR VERY COLD. IN 2002, THE COUNTRIES THAT PRODUCED THE MOST WINE WERE FRANCE, ITALY, SPAIN, THE
UNITED STATES, AND AUSTRALIA
