Wine Vademecum Wine is the pure, naturally fermented juice of fresh ripe grapes. The alcohol in wine is nature's means of preserving the juice of the grape. In aging wine develops smoothness, mellowness and character. Good wines are bottled after having been aged in the cask as long as necessary. Generally speaking there are five classes of wine. Appetizer wines, white wines, red wines, dessert and sparkling wines. Regardless of tradition the best rule for a choice of wine is the kind which is most pleasant to the person who drinks it.
