wondered what helps the grape age properly and why red wines need more time to age}{f4insrsid9183935 }{f4insrsid8136406 than white wines?
par }{f4insrsid9183935
par }{f4insrsid8136406 The process of aging starts immediately after the grapes are picked, crushed and }{f4insrsid16253210 p}{f4insrsid8136406 ressed.}{f4insrsid9183935 }{f4insrsid8136406
The grapes are then put into an oak barrel or steel vat, with some winemakers preferring to}{f4insrsid9183935 }{f4insrsid8136406 add oak chips to the vat.}{f4insrsid9183935 }{f4insrsid8136406 During the aging process }{f4insrsid9183935 a}{
f4insrsid8136406 cids, sugar and tannin interact. By having more tannin present}{f4insrsid9183935 }{f4insrsid8136406 the winemaker is able to age the wine for a longer period without fear of oxidation. This}{f4insrsid16253210 }{
f4insrsid8136406 along with temperature, light conditions, and alcohol complete the aging process.}{f4insrsid16253210 }{f4insrsid8136406 Wines age faster with a warmer temperature. So the winemaker tries to maintain a cool
par stable 55-65 degree temperature in a dark area as the ideal aging atmosphere. A big}{f4insrsid16253210 }{f4insrsid8136406 fluctuation in temperature or light conditions on a daily or weekly basis is detrimental to a}{f4insrsid16253210 }{
f4insrsid8136406 good wine.
par }{f4insrsid16253210
par }{f4insrsid8136406 Now why are red wines aged more than white wines? A simple explanation is }{f4insrsid16253210 t}{f4insrsid8136406 hat all}{f4insrsid16253210 }{f4insrsid8136406
grapes are white inside, which means that red wine needs to allow the exterior}{f4insrsid16253210 }{f4insrsid8136406 skin to mix}{f4insrsid16253210 }{f4insrsid8136406
with the interior when being crushed to give it the red color. This mixture contains tannin,}{f4insrsid16253210 }{f4insrsid8136406 which also aids the aging process significantly. You also get tannin from the oak sides of the}{f4insrsid16253210 }{
f4insrsid8136406 barrel. Compounds within these, known as phenolics, allow the wine to age longer while}{f4insrsid16253210 }{f4insrsid8136406 keeping the wine from oxidizing. So the red wine is able to age longer and develop a more}{
f4insrsid16253210 }{f4insrsid8136406 full flavored bold taste.
par White wines have these same compounds but at much lower levels. This is because the}{f4insrsid16253210 }{f4insrsid8136406 inside of the grape is what wine manufacturers mostly use and by not using as much of the}{f4insrsid16253210 }{
f4insrsid8136406 exterior skin less tannin is present. This results in a considerable shorter aging process than}{f4insrsid16253210 }{f4insrsid8136406 a vat with a large amount of tannin present. Attempting to age most white wines over an}{
f4insrsid16253210 }{f4insrsid8136406 extended period causes it to flatten and lose some of its aromatic freshness.
par }{f4insrsid16253210
par }{f4insrsid8136406 So go ahead and save that special red wine for your Grandchildrquote s marriage, but }{f4insrsid16253210 b}{f4insrsid8136406 e sure to}{f4insrsid16253210 }{f4insrsid8136406 serve the white wine within two or three years.}{

par }{f4insrsid8136406 Wines go through the above process to be ready for consumption. Next the wine is}{f4insrsid16253210 }{f4insrsid8136406 bottled and stored in wine cellars to finish the ageing process. Most wines are consumable}{
f4insrsid16253210 }{f4insrsid8136406 when the purchased. The main reason is because no one expects to plan the dinner menu}{f4insrsid16253210 }{f4insrsid8136406
