Shop wine
It is often believed that all store-bought wine is made on the basis of a special powder. This is actually a myth. Grapes are a very common raw material and there is no point in making powder out of them. The production of such a powder will take much more financial costs. But this does not mean that store-bought wine in terms of quality and benefits coincides with homemade wine.
In addition, when buying wine in a store, you can often run into not so much a fake, but simply a wine that was produced in conditions of a total reduction in production costs.
Of course, such a product does not have any medicinal and beneficial properties.
The methods for making such an inexpensive wine are as follows:
1. Mix of a quality product with a base one. In this case, the taste is achieved by adding dyes and sugar.
2. Dilution of wine with water. Then add alcohol.
3. Acceleration of the fermentation process. This is the most common form of production cost reduction in wineries. The point is adding sugar before fermentation starts or right after it starts. This speeds up the maturation of the wine, but greatly reduces its properties and quality.
4. Glycerin is added to a wine with a bad taste, and it becomes sweeter and more pleasant.
5. Use of concentrates and paints. Using these methods, they are trying to make an elite wine from cheap wine and sell it several times more expensive. Synthetic dyes are often used, which can be harmful to health.
6. Artificial wine occupies a special place among the harmful shop wines. It completely eliminates the use of grape juice and uses chemical substitutes.
