The variety accounts for a significant share of the country’s vineyard plantings and is particularly associated with the regions along the Danube such as Wachau, Kamptal and Kremstal.<ref>Robinson (ed.), ''The Oxford Companion to Wine'', Oxford University Press, 2015, ISBN 978-019...")
- diffhist N Alcohol 14:53 +2,597 Winosaur talk contribs (Created page with "'''Alcohol''' in wine refers primarily to ethanol, the product of fermentation when yeasts convert grape sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide. It is a defining component of wine, influencing its stability, style, and sensory properties.<ref>Jackson, ''Wine Science: Principles and Applications'', 5th ed., Academic Press, 2020, ISBN 978-0128161180.</ref> == Background == The word derives from the Arabic ''al-kuḥl'', later adopte...")
- diffhist N Body 14:40 +1,895 Winosaur talk contribs (Created page with "'''Body''' in wine refers to the overall weight, fullness, and mouth-coating impression of a wine, often described as its sense of “heaviness” on the palate.<ref>Robinson (ed.), ''The Oxford Companion to Wine'', Oxford University Press, 2015, ISBN 978-0198705383.</ref> It is one of the principal descriptors used in wine tasting, influenced by alcohol, extract, tannins, glycerol, and other structural components.<ref>Peynaud, ''The Taste of Wine: The Art and Scienc...")

- diffhist N Texture 12:15 +2,848 Winosaur talk contribs (Created page with "'''Texture''' in wine refers to the tactile sensations perceived in the mouth, distinct from Aroma and flavour. It is closely related to Mouthfeel, but the term is often used to describe the structural and tactile qualities that influence how a wine is experienced on the palate.<ref>Robinson (ed.), ''The Oxford Companion to Wine'', Oxford University Press, 2015, ISBN 978-0198705383.</ref> == Background == Texture arises from the interaction of multiple wine co...")
- diffhist N Mouthfeel 12:15 +3,428 Winosaur talk contribs (Created page with "'''Mouthfeel''' is a sensory term in wine evaluation, referring to the tactile impressions perceived inside the mouth during tasting. Unlike aroma or flavour, which relate to olfactory and gustatory perception, mouthfeel encompasses texture, weight, and physical sensations such as astringency or smoothness.<ref>Robinson (ed.), ''The Oxford Companion to Wine'', Oxford University Press, 2015, ISBN 978-0198705383.</ref> The word combines “mouth”...")
- diffhist N Wine tasting 10:56 +3,554 Winosaur talk contribs (Created page with "'''Wine tasting''' refers to the sensory evaluation of wine, encompassing its visual, olfactory, and gustatory properties. The practice has developed into both a cultural tradition and a professional discipline, central to the understanding and communication of wine quality.<ref>Robinson (ed.), ''The Oxford Companion to Wine'', Oxford University Press, 2015, ISBN 978-0198705383.</ref> == Historical background == The systematic assessment of wine has roots in ant...")
- diffhist N Sugar 10:48 +3,626 Winosaur talk contribs (Created page with "'''Sugar''' in wine refers primarily to the natural glucose and fructose found in grapes, which provide the fundamental substrate for fermentation. The balance of sugar at harvest strongly influences both the potential alcohol level and the style of the finished wine.<ref>Jackson, ''Wine Science: Principles and Applications'', 5th ed., Academic Press, 2020, ISBN 978-0128161180.</ref> == Formation in grapes == Sugars in grapes originate from pho...")
- diffhist N Flavour 10:27 +3,119 Winosaur talk contribs (Created page with "'''Flavour''' in the context of wine refers to the combined sensory impression created by taste and aroma during consumption. It encompasses both the primary components perceived on the palate and the volatile compounds detected retronasally, making it a central concept in wine tasting.<ref>Robinson (ed.), ''The Oxford Companion to Wine'', Oxford University Press, 2015, ISBN 978-0198705383.</ref> == Background == Flavour is distinct from taste and ar...")

- diffhist N Medium-bodied 10:01 +2,951 Winosaur talk contribs (Created page with "'''Medium-bodied''' wine refers to a style of wine whose perceived weight and texture on the palate lies between light-bodied and full-bodied examples. The concept of body in wine is primarily linked to alcohol, extract, and structural elements such as acidity and tannin, all of which contribute to the overall mouthfeel<ref>Robinson (ed.), ''The Oxford Companion to Wine'', Oxford University Press, 2015, ISBN 978-0198705383.</ref>.

The wines are primarily made from the Gamay grape, producing styles that range from light, early-drinking examples to more structured expressions from the recognised crus. Beaujolais has long held a distinctive identity within French viticulture, shaped by its history, geography, and unique production methods.<ref>Robinson (ed.), ''The Oxford...")

- diffhist N Ageing 14:46 +3,665 Winosaur talk contribs (Created page with "'''Ageing''' in wine refers to the process by which a wine evolves over time, whether in barrel, bottle, or other vessels. Unlike simple storage, ageing is a controlled transformation that can enhance complexity, soften textures, and develop aromas, though not all wines are designed to benefit from prolonged ageing.<ref>Robinson (ed.), ''The Oxford Companion to Wine'', Oxford University Press, 2015, ISBN 978-0198705383.</ref> == Historical context == The...")
