| N 18:49 | Temperature (climate) diffhist +3,016 Winosaur talk contribs (Created page with "''For the influence of temperature on the wine itself during fermentation, storage and service, see Temperature (wine)''. '''Temperature (climate)''' refers to the heat regimes that shape grapevine growth, berry composition and the style of finished wine. Alongside soil and topography, it is one of the most critical elements of terroir.<ref>Gladstones, ''Viticulture and Environment'', Winetitles, 1992.</ref> == Growing season and thresholds == Grapevin...") | ||||

| N 15:05 | Barrel ageing diffhist +4,098 Winosaur talk contribs (Created page with "'''Barrel ageing''' refers to the practice of maturing wine in wooden vessels, most commonly made of oak, to influence its structure, flavour, and stability. The process is central to many traditional and modern winemaking styles, shaping both the sensory profile and the longevity of the finished wine.<ref>Robinson (ed.), ''The Oxford Companion to Wine'', Oxford University Press, 2015.</ref> == Origins and development == The use of wooden barrels...") | ||||

| 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 12:11 | Maturation diffhist +2,834 Winosaur talk contribs (Created page with "'''Maturation''' in wine refers to the period following fermentation during which the wine develops its structure, stability, and sensory profile prior to bottling. It is distinct from ageing, which generally describes the evolution of wine in bottle. Maturation may occur in a variety of vessels, from oak barrels to inert materials such as stainless steel, each contributing differently to the wine’s character.<ref>Ribéreau-Gayon, Dubourdieu, Do...") | ||||
| N 11:44 | Aroma diffhist +3,779 Winosaur talk contribs (Created page with "'''Aroma''' refers to the olfactory characteristics of wine, encompassing the volatile compounds perceived through the nose and retronasal pathways. In oenology, the term is often distinguished from flavour, as aroma relates specifically to smell, while flavour integrates both smell and taste. The word derives from the Greek ''arōma'', meaning spice or fragrance, and it has long been recognised as central to sensory appreciation of wine.<ref>Peynaud, ''The T...") | ||||

| N 13:28 | Yeast diffhist +3,285 Winosaur talk contribs (Created page with "'''Yeast''' (/jiːst/) are unicellular fungi of great importance in winemaking, responsible for the alcoholic fermentation that transforms grape must into wine. The term derives from Old English ''gist'' and Proto-Germanic roots meaning "foam" or "boil", reflecting the frothing effect of fermentation. The most significant species in oenology is ''Saccharomyces cerevisiae'', though other genera also contribute to fermentation under certain conditions.<...") | ||||
| 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...") | ||||
