N 14:53 | Alcohol diffhist +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...") |
N 14:40 | Body diffhist +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...") |
N 12:15 | Mouthfeel diffhist +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”...") |
N 10:56 | Wine tasting diffhist +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...") |
N 10:48 | Sugar diffhist +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...") |
N 10:27 | Flavour diffhist +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...") |
N 08:35 | Light-bodied diffhist +2,450 Winosaur talk contribs (Created page with "'''Light-bodied''' is a descriptive term in wine tasting used to characterise wines with a delicate weight and texture on the palate. It refers to wines that feel less dense or heavy, typically due to lower levels of alcohol, tannin, and extract, and is commonly contrasted with medium-bodied and full-bodied wines.<ref>Robinson (ed.), ''The Oxford Companion to Wine'', Oxford University Press, 2015, ISBN 978-0198705383.</ref> == Background == The c...") |

N 16:45 | Tempranillo diffhist +4,061 Winosaur talk contribs (Created page with "'''Tempranillo''' (Spanish: [tem.pɾaˈniʎo]) is a black grape variety widely associated with the production of Spanish wine. The name derives from the Spanish word ''temprano'', meaning "early", a reference to the grape’s tendency to ripen several weeks earlier than most other red varieties.<ref>Robinson, Harding & Vouillamoz, ''Wine Grapes'', HarperCollins, 2012, ISBN 978-0062206367.</ref> It forms the backbone of some of Spain’s most renowned wi...") |
N 15:42 | Ripening diffhist +3,481 Winosaur talk contribs (Created page with "'''Ripening''' in viticulture refers to the final phase of grape development, beginning after véraison and culminating in harvest. It is during this period that grapes undergo significant physiological and biochemical changes, which determine their suitability for wine production. The state of ripeness at harvest has a profound influence on wine style, balance, and quality.<ref>Jackson, ''Wine Science: Principles and Applications'', 5th ed., Academic Pre...") |

N 13:24 | Acidity diffhist +3,192 Winosaur talk contribs (Created page with "'''Acidity''' in wine refers to the concentration and perception of organic acids naturally present in grapes and produced during fermentation. It is a central component of wine tasting, contributing to freshness, balance, and the ageing potential of a wine.<ref>Robinson (ed.), ''The Oxford Companion to Wine'', Oxford University Press, 2015, ISBN 978-0198705383.</ref> == Background == The term derives from the Latin ''acidus'', meaning “sour” or...") |
N 09:12 | Maceration diffhist +3,458 Winosaur talk contribs (Created page with "'''Maceration''' (/ˌmæsəˈreɪʃən/) in winemaking refers to the process by which grape solids such as skins, seeds, and occasionally stems remain in contact with the juice or fermenting must. The term derives from the Latin *macerare*, meaning “to soften by soaking”. Maceration is central to the production of red wines and contributes to colour, flavour, aroma, and tannic structure.<ref>Robinson (ed.), ''The Oxford Companion to Wine'', Oxford Un...") |

N 18:10 | Winemaking diffhist +4,915 Winosaur talk contribs (Created page with "'''Winemaking''' refers to the production of wine from cultivated grapes, encompassing the processes that transform harvested fruit into finished wines suitable for consumption. Rooted in ancient agricultural traditions and closely tied to the practice of viticulture, winemaking combines natural fermentation with a range of technical and stylistic decisions that influence a wine’s character, quality, and longevity.<ref>Jackson, ''Wine Sci...") |
