wOH! convinced? well, let's start over.

The next time you enjoy a glass of wine, think about your place in history.
Wine may date back to 6000BC. Nowadays we drink it from bottles not animal skins, but the basic principles of wine making remained the same.
Wine grapes grow best in temperate climates. But if grape vines are well protected they can survive the Canadian winter. The riper the grapes, the sweeter the wine. So growers wait as long as possible before harvesting their crops.
Pickers gather grapes by hand, cutting off the branches with sheers to avoid tearing the plant. For red wine, wine makers use the entire red grape, juice, skin, pulp and even seeds. For white wine they use just
the juice of wine grapes. While the wine making process is certainly a factor, the quality of grapes is what ultimately determines the quality of wine.
Grapes are affected by weather, by soil conditions, and how the grapes are pruned during and between seasons. The grapes go into the crusher then into the presser which squeezes out the juice. Inside the winery the ultimate result of all that crushing and pressing ends up in large stainless steel tanks.
The wine makers add yeast to convert the sugar in the juice convert to alcohol. That’s call fermentation. Wine makers constantly experiment with fermentation to improve the quality of their wine. They take samples of grape juice and mix them with different types
of yeast. Yeast is found throughout the environment, in wild berries for instance.
They hydrate the yeast with a bit of grape juice. Then they pour the mixture into the juice, let it ferment and see how it works. The big fermentation tanks are refrigerated and monitoring their temperature is critical. White wine must be fermented at 17 degrees Celsius. Red wine at 30-35 degrees Celsius. The fermentation period depends on the type of wine. White wine has to ferment for 3 weeks, red wine for just 10 days. Rosette wine in somewhat of a half breed, made with red grapes but fermented slowly like white wine. It comes out pink.
There are some extra steps in making red wine. During fermentation, they drain the tank to aerate the wine. The oxygen helps the yeast work faster over the short 10 day fermentation period. Then they pump the wine back in to the top of the tank to mix everything thoroughly.
During fermentation, they not only monitor temperature but also the sugar level. As juice become wine, the sugar level drops and the alcohol level increases. Except for very sweet wines fermentation is done when the sugar is gone.  The alcohol content is 11-13% for red wine and 11 to 11.5 for white and rosé.
The wine is stored for a few months then it is run though several pressure-filters to remove any particles. Then comes time to bottle the wine. Large wineries have fully automated bottling plants, smaller operations semi automated systems.
The key to bottling wine is to avoid getting air inside as the oxygen turns wine sour. The colored wine bottles protect the wine from light which can also affects the taste. People have used cork to plug wine bottles since ancient times as it keeps a tight seal that leaves the air out. Inside the bottle the wine continue to undergo certain organic as it ages.





BONUS: Homemade Red-wine Recipe


  • ·         For making red wine at home, we need red or black grapes, sugar, yeast and wheat
  • ·         Take a bowl and place the grape fruits on to it
  • ·         Pour water to fill the container and rinse the fruits
  • ·         Collect the cleaned fruits in a plate
  • ·         Take a large container, preferably made of glass, and place the cleaned grapes inside. While you place them crush and squeeze them nicely with a wooden rod
  • ·         Place some sugar to make a thick layer on the grapes
  • ·         Mix it
  • ·         Activate yeast in lukewarm water and pour it on the mixture. For a large container 4-6 table spoon of activated yeast-water mixture will be sufficient.
  • ·         Place some wheat grains into that mixture. For a large sized glass container, 4-5 table spoon of wheat will do the work.
  • ·         Fill the rest of the container by purified water and Mix everything
  • ·         Lave it airtight for 21 days
  • ·         Stir the mixture with a wooden spatula everyday for 21 days
  • ·         You will notice bubbles are developing as the mixture gets fermented.
  • ·         On the 21st day pour the mixture in another container purifying the fruits and seed out of it by some kind of net
  • The same can be further purified 
So, are you ready to make a glass for your own or are you planing something like this inside your house?

So Lonely! We hear about waste management to and fro, right? But you don't consider thinking of this a bit. Neither did I before I really learned about it and about what really this can do. moreover, what expensive technologies are employed to do a task that I almost ignore every day! You know about landfilling, recycling, composting etc. But have you heard of anaerobic digestion, in-vessels, pyrolysis, UASB or waste autoclave? Let's read from our fellow blogger Supritam Shome!

A look into one of Mango's most dreaded diseases that has been puzzling scientists since 1891: Introduction In today's modern era,mankind is touching the intangible, he is clutching the  inapprehensible     and making it a reality. We have reached the Moon, our space rovers have traversed the distance of the solar system and we have synthesized intelligence artificially in the last few decades. With his bold strides in the field of Science and technology ,the inte lligent ape , might sometimes get a very wrong notion that he has discovered everything in this universe. Well, to be honest , we  aren't even close!!There are billions of unsolved mysteries in our planet itself, (let alone the Universe) that cannot be comprehended or explained by even the Earth's mightiest brains. One such burning question , which needs to answer, is that of Mango Malformation It was first reported in India in 1891 , and has been troubling fa...
