Wine is regarded one of the many pleasures of the world that can be enjoyed by anyone. While there are those that are not tremendous fans of wine, it is one of the most common beverages in the world as it can served before, after and/or during a meal. Wine has immense cultural significance in many countries and can add a pleasant experience to an otherwise ordinary day.

The word wine refers to the processing, fermentation, and production of the grape. Grapes are naturally balanced to ferment on their own without the aid of any enzymes, extra sugars, or chemicals. This brings about the flavor and taste of wine one that is very uninhibited and natural. Other fruits are sometimes added to wine for their fermentation qualities, including black currants and apples. When fruits of this type are used to make wine, it is called an "elderberry" or "apple" wine.

White wine and red wine are the two primary categories of wine. They are then sub-divided into many other subcategories. The types that fall under each umbrella, are typically determined by the type of grape or the region in which the grape was grown.

A common type of white wine is the Riesling. It comes from a white grape variety of the same name and is grown historically in Germany. Riesling is very versatile and is considered appropriate to serve with almost any type of food. It is, however, most popular with white fish or white fishpork. Riesling is also known as one of the few wines that can stand up to the bold flavors of Asian cuisine such as Chinese or Thai food.

Red wines are divided into categories, one of which is Merlot. This type of wine can come from just about anywhere, including Canada and Argentina. It is a red wine that is typically identified by its medium body and hints of plum or berry. It is considered one of the more versatile types of wine and is often suggested as a meal accompaniment. A white merlot is also available, and is touched up with hints of raspberry.

There are many different approachs that people choose to use wine. Whether as an apertif before a meal, as a table wine during a meal, as a cooking wine during meal preparation, or as a dessert wine, it is one of the most all-purpose beverages in the world. People enjoy wine in many settings around the world because of the immense variety available. Wine is certainly earning its reputation as the drink of choice for many people.
