White Wine
Grapevines cannot reproduce reliably from seed. To cultivate a particular grape variety, grafting (a plant version of cloning) is used. Wine grapes are subject to mold when there is too much moisture. Tight clustered Sauvignon Blanc, Zinfandel and Pinot Noir are most susceptible to mold. The looser clusters of Cabernet Sauvignon allow for faster drying of moist grapes and thus make it less susceptible. The average age of a French oak tree harvested for use in wine barrels is 170 years!
Red Wine
Until 1970, Bordeaux produced more white wine than red. Today red wine represents about 84% of the total crop. Although chateau means castle, it may also be a mansion or a little house next to a vineyard that meets the requirements for winemaking with storage facilities on its property. Grand Cru is French for great growth and designates the best. In Burgundy it refers to the best vineyards which usually have multiple owners. In Bordeaux its meaning varies by the specific region, but it always refers to properties under a single ownership. Red wine maintains the immune system: According to a study published by the University of Florida, red wine does not suppress the immune system like other alcoholic beverages.
Rose Wine
Rose bushes are often planted at the end of a row of grape vines to act as an early warning signal for infestation by diseases and insects like aphids. A vineyard manager who notices black spots or root rot on the roses will spray the grape vines before they are damaged.
Sparkling Wine
To prevent a sparkling wine from foaming out of the glass, pour an ounce, which will settle quickly. Pouring the remainder of the serving into this starter will not foam as much.
