Vinho..hmnnn....

Bem...achei esse artigo sobre vinho muito interessante,portanto resolvi compartilhá-lo..

Wine is the fermented juice of grapes.Only one specie of grape,Vitis vinifera,is used for nearly all of the wine that is produced in the world.There are over 4,000 varieties of the Vitis vinifera today,but only a few are commonly used for making wine.Some of the most important varieties areRiesling,Chardonnay,CAbernet,Sauvignon and Muscat.
Wines are also made from other fruits such as apples and pears.Many of these wines are homemade.The egyptians started making wine over 4.500 years ago.Today wine is still a favorite complement to meals.It is also very much used in cooking,medicines,and in religious ceremonies.
There are four types of wine:table wines,are also called natural wines,which are made of juice that is pressed from the grape.They are the most common type of wine, and come in three colors:red,white and rose.
Fortified wines have more alcohol than table wines.The best known are Sherry(Spain)and Port(Portugal).
The best known sparkling wine is Champagne.People enjoy drinking sparkling wines on special occasions.
Flavored wines contain other substances.Vermouth and the popular wine coolers are examples of flavored wines.
