- 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 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 Aroma 11:44 +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...")
- 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 Lees 11:54 +3,365 Winosaur talk contribs (Created page with "'''Lees''' are the deposits of dead yeast cells, grape solids, and other particles that settle at the bottom of a vessel during and after fermentation. The term derives from the Old French *lie*, itself from the Latin *levare*, meaning "to lift" or "to rise"<ref>Robinson (ed.), ''The Oxford Companion to Wine'', Oxford University Press, 2015, ISBN 978-0198705383.</ref>. In winemaking, lees are both a by-product and an important tool, influencing the [[flavour]...")

- diffhist Ageing 14:48 −6 Winosaur talk contribs (→Methods and styles)
- 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...")
- diffhist N Acidity 13:24 +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...")
- diffhist N Maceration 09:12 +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...")

- diffhist N Winemaking 18:10 +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...")
