Winemaking\u00a0or\u00a0vinification\u00a0is the production of\u00a0wine, starting with the selection of the fruit, its\u00a0fermentation into alcohol, and the bottling of the finished liquid. The\u00a0history of wine-making stretches over millennia. The science of wine and winemaking is known as oenology. A winemaker\u00a0may also be called a vintner. The growing of grapes is\u00a0viticulture\u00a0and there are\u00a0many varieties of grapes.<\/p>\n
Winemaking can be divided into two general categories: still wine production (without carbonation) and\u00a0sparkling wine production\u00a0(with carbonation\u00a0\u2013 natural or injected).\u00a0Red wine,\u00a0white wine, and\u00a0ros\u00e9\u00a0are the other main categories. Although most wine is made from\u00a0grapes, it may also be made from other plants. (See\u00a0fruit wine.) Other similar light alcoholic drinks (as opposed to\u00a0beer\u00a0or\u00a0spirits) include\u00a0mead, made by fermenting honey and water, and\u00a0kumis, made of fermented mare\u2019s milk.<\/p>\n

On occasion, the winemaker may decide to leave them in if the grapes themselves contain less tannin than desired. This is more acceptable if the stems have \u2018ripened\u2019 and started to turn brown.

In the United States, some grapes are picked into one- or two-ton bins for transport back to the winery. Manual harvesting has the advantage of using knowledgeable labor to not only pick the ripe clusters but also to leave behind the clusters that are not ripe or contain\u00a0bunch rot\u00a0or other defects.
