The Winery Life: Learn about the fruit flavored wine making process

There’s something about fruity wines that just makes them so much more tempting than the average bottle of red or white wine. But what goes into making these sweet drinks? How do winemakers manage to get those delicious flavors infused into the wine? If you’ve been curious about this process, then read on! We’ll walk you through the basics of fruit-flavored winemaking.

What is a fruit-flavored wine? 

Fruit wine is a type of wine that has been flavored with fruit. This can be done in a few different ways, but the most common is to add fruit juice or puree to the wine during fermentation

Many wines in history were fruit wines, including the famous Greek wine retsina. The grape wine in this style was so popular in Greece that it held its own religious significance for the country’s people.

We all know wine is a synonym for grapes and grape wine (pinot noir). But grape wines can be made from other fruit as well such as apples, pears, and berries. The greatest thing about making wine using fruits is that it’s easy since there’s no skin or seeds to deal with as you’d have with grapes. So the winemaking process can go a lot faster and easier! And if you like lighter flavors,  fruit wines are perfect for you.

A brief history of fruit sweet wine 

The first recorded evidence of winemaking using fruit flavors comes from ancient China in around 3000 BC. Back then, the Chinese used hawthorn berries to make a type of wine called huangjiu. This wine was enjoyed as a celebratory drink and was often served at weddings and other important occasions.

Fruit wines began to be created in Europe much later. During the Middle Ages, people would make wines from fruits to enjoy a more slightly sweet drink. This took off during the Middle Ages so much that by 1831, grape wines were really seen as a luxury and a rarity.

During the Industrial Revolution, many winemakers began making fruit wines at home after having learned the process from their parents and grandparents. These pre-industrialized wines were often made in a hurry due to the pressure of finding fresh dark fruit to make wine with at all times (before it disappeared off the shelves). As such, they were not as sophisticated as modern grape wines… But you can’t really blame those winemakers too much because harvesting grapes back then was a lot harder than it is today!

The process for making wines from fruit flavors

There are many different ways to make fruit wine, but the most common is to add fruit juice or puree to the wine during fermentation. This will give the wine a subtle flavor of the fruit that was used.

In some rare cases, winemakers will add fruit extract or essences to the wine like could be the case of ripe mango and ripe raspberries. These types of wines tend to have a more pronounced flavor than those that use juice/puree. This is because purees and juices are not as concentrated as an essence or extract could be.

Types of fruit wines 

There are many different types of fruit wines that can be made. The most popular ones are apple wine, grape wine, peach wine, passion fruit wine, and raspberry wine.

But there are also wines that can be made from a less common red fruit like blackberry wine, cherry wine, elderberry wine, fig wine, and quince wine.

Sparkling wine is also a type of fruit wine, and it is usually made from grape juice or apple juice. It usually contains a small amount of added sugar and carbon dioxide gas, which is why it’s sometimes called “sugar wine”.

How does it taste

The great thing about fruit wines is that they come in all sorts of different flavors. This means that there’s sure to be a wine out there that you’ll love!

If you’re a fan of grape wines, then you’ll probably enjoy wine tasting with fruit wines as well once you get used to the lighter flavors. Fruit wine can be an acquired taste for some people, but if they give it a chance I’m sure they’ll find out that fruit wines are actually really enjoyable!

What goes with what?

Many people think you should only drink fruit wines with certain types of food. But this is not true!

In fact, there are no rules when it comes to pairing the type of wine you drink with food. The only thing that matters is how much alcohol your drink contains and if it’s dry or sweet. If you have a really dry white wine then it would go well with lighter foods such as salads or fish. If you have a sweet white wine it would be better to pair it with sweeter foods like cheesecake or fruit salad.

But if you want to know what flavors go together, then the best thing you could do is an experiment! Taste-test different wines and find out how they make your palate feel.

Why do we drink fruit flavored wines 

There are many reasons why people might enjoy drinking fruit flavored wines. Some people might like the taste, while others might like that they’re not as strong as grape wines.

Fruit wines are also seen as being more casual drinks than grape wines. This is because they’re not as serious and they can be enjoyed with a wide variety of different foods.

They’re also a great way to experiment with new flavors, and you can find some really unique wines that you might not have been able to find at your local liquor store.

In the end, the reason why someone enjoys drinking fruit flavored wine is completely personal! Everyone has their own preference, and that’s what makes this type of wine so special.
