葡萄酒,是用葡萄果实或葡萄汁,经过发酵酿制而成的酒精饮料.在水果中,由于葡萄的葡萄糖含量较高,贮存一段时间就会发出酒味,因此常常以葡萄酿酒.葡萄酒是目前世界上产量最大、普及最广的单糖酿造酒.早在六千年以前,在盛产葡萄的地中海区域,两河流域的苏美尔人和尼罗河流域的古埃及人就会酿造葡萄酒.有趣的是,在舞蹈文化中,有一种葡萄酒舞是在酿酒用葡萄丰收时,庆祝的团体舞蹈.葡萄酒在基督教被视为耶稣基督宝血的象征物. 　　葡萄酒有许多分类方式.以成品颜色来说,可分为红葡萄酒、白葡萄酒及粉红葡萄酒三类.其中红葡萄酒又可细分为干红葡萄酒、半干红葡萄酒、半甜红葡萄酒和甜红葡萄酒.白葡萄酒则细分为干白葡萄酒、半干白葡萄酒、半甜白葡萄酒和甜白葡萄酒.以酿造方式来说,可以分为蒸馏葡萄酒(Stillwine)、气泡葡萄酒(Sparklingwine)、加烈葡萄酒(Fortifiedwine)和加味葡萄酒(Aromatizedwine)四类.其中一般葡萄酒的酒精含量约为百分之八到十五,然而加烈葡萄酒的酒精含量可能会更高. 　　葡萄酒的酒性完全受到土壤、气候以及酿酒技巧等因素的影响,但是酒的风味却完全取决于酿酒技巧等因素的影响,但是酒的风味却完全取决于酿酒葡萄的品种的不同.葡萄酒的原料－葡萄原产于黑海与里海之间的外高加索地区,直到西汉时经张骞通西域才传到中国.目前葡萄已经被广泛引种到世界各地,主要是作为酿酒原料.但世界最好及最有名的葡萄酒大多产至法国,法国葡萄酒的酿造历史可追朔到罗马帝国时期.由于法国气候温和,除了北部诺曼底一些区域以外,全国都能生产高质量的葡萄.在1996年时,全国共有超过818000公顷的葡萄园,13个产酒区域,葡萄酒产量超过46亿公升.法国可以说是盛产葡萄酒的国家之一. 　　Wine,grapes,fruitorjuiceafterfermentationtobrewalcoholicbeveragesfromthe.Inthefruit,becauseofhighglucosecontentofgrapes,storagewillbeissuedalcoholforaperiodoftime,ofteninwinemaking.Wineproductioniscurrentlytheworld'slargestandmostwidelypopularmonosaccharidebrewingliquor.Asearlyas6,000Yearsago,intheMediterraneanregionrichgrape,theSumerianMesopotamiaandtheNileBasinwillbetheancientEgyptiansbrewedwine.Interestingly,thedanceculture,thereisawinedanceinthewinegrapeharvest,celebrationdancegroups.WineinthePreciousBloodofJesusChristasChristiansymbols. 　　Therearemanywineclassification.Tofinishedcolor,canbedividedintoredwine,whitewineandpinkwinethreecategories.Redwinewhichcanbebrokendownintodryredwine,semi-dryredwine,semi-sweetredwineandsweetredwine.Whitewineisbrokendownintodrywhitewine,whitewinesemi-,semi-sweetwhitewineandsweetwhitewine.Approachtobrewing,distillationwinecanbedividedinto(Stillwine),thebubblewine(Sparklingwine),Jialiewine(Fortifiedwine)andtheModifiedwine(Aromatizedwine)four.Ofgeneralwinealcoholcontentofabout8-15%,butJialieofalcoholinwinemaybehigher. 　　Wineandliquorcompletelysoil,climateandwineskills,amongotherfactors,buttheflavoriscompletelywinebrewingtechniquesdependsonfactorssuchastheimpact,butthewineiscompletelydependentontheflavorofwinegrapevarietiesdifferent.Winerawmaterials-grapesoriginatingintheBlackSeaandtheCaspianSea,betweentheCaucasusregion,untiltheWesternHanDynasty,theWesternRegions-ZhangQianconveyedtoChinabefore.Atpresentgrapehasbeenwidelyintroducedtotherestoftheworld,mainlyasawinerawmaterials.Buttheworld'sbestandmostfamouswineproducingmostlytoFrance,FrenchwinebrewinghistoryDuishuototheRomanperiod.AsFrancemildclimate,inadditiontosomeofthenorthernNormandyregion,thecountrycanproducehighqualitygrapes.In1996,morethan818,000hectaresofthetotalofvineyards,13productionwineregions,wineproductionover4.6billionlitres.Francecanbesaidtobeoneofthecountrieswithrichwine.
