WINE
Wine is an alcoholic drink made from the fermentation of grape juice.The natural chemical balance of the grapes is such that they can ferment without the addition of sugars, acids, enzymes or other nutrients.Wine is produced by fermenting grapes crushed with the help of various types of yeast that consume the sugars in the grapes and convert it into alcohol. Different varieties of grapes and the strains of the yeast used, depending on the nature of the wine produced.
Although other fruits like apples and berries can also be mistaken, the resulting "wine" are usually named after the fruit from which they are produced (for example, cider or elderberry wine) and are commonly known as fruit or the country of wine. Others, such as barley wine and rice wine (for example, for the sake), are made of starch-based materials and resemble beer more than wine and spirits, while ginger wine is fortified with brandy. In these cases, the use of the term "wine" is a reference to the higher alcohol content, instead of the production process.The commercial use of the English word "wine" (and its equivalent in other languages) is protected by law in many jurisdictions.
Wine has a rich history dating back to around 6000 BC and is thought to have originated in areas currently within the borders of Georgia and Iran.Wine probably appeared in Europe at around 4500 BC in the current Bulgaria and Greece, and was very common in ancient Greece, Rome and Thrace. Wine is also an important role in the religion over the centuries. The Greek god Dionysus and Bacchus represented the Roman equivalent of wine, and the drink is also used in Christian and Jewish ceremonies, such as the Eucharist and Kiddush.
The word "wine" is derived from the Proto-Germanic * winam, an early borrowing from the Latin vinum, "wine" or "(grape) vines", itself derived from the Proto-Indo-European root * win-o-( cf. Ancient Greek οῖνος - oînos, Aeolisch ϝ οίνος - woinos). Similar words for wine or grapes can be found in the Semitic languages (Arabic see وين wayne) and the Georgian (ğvino); some the term as a wanderwort, or "wandering word" .
