March 9, 2009
Party without wine is unimaginable. To make your party more glamorous and enjoyable, one should have a wide idea about various types of wines. Yes, when you have a fair idea about wine then only you can make your own choices according to the theme of the party.
There is a long list of name you will find for wine. Sometimes, it becomes very confusing to understand about wine from their names. Given the fact that there are a wide range of varieties of wine are available, here in this article, I would try to give you some basic information about wine.
Wines acquire their names as per the name of the area or region from which they are being produced. Sometimes, they are also named according to the production of grapes’ origination. Wines like Champagne, Pouilly Fuisse are named after the region from where they are produced. On the other hand, wines like Chardonnay, Merlot are the name of some wines, which are named according to some other specificity.
Wines can broadly be divided into various types like regional type wines, varietal wines and generic wines. Wines made in various regions of Europe can be broadly included into regional type of wines. Most of the wines coming from French, Italian and Portuguese regions of Europe fall into this category. Example of regional wines is Bordeaux, champagne, Chablis, Beaujolais, Chianti and Burgundy.
Varietal types of wines include the ones, which are named according to the grapes’ production centre. European countries like France strictly follow the making process of a varietal wine. Yes, if the wine mentions about some varietal type of grapes then the wine must contain cent percent of that variety grapes. Example: Merlot, Pinos Gris, Riesling, Chardonnay, and Cabernet Sauvignon.
Generic types of wines are common in the United States. The name of the wines does not refer to any particular place from where they are made or from the grapes names. In US, you will find many sparkling wine, being labeled as Champagne, even though they are made in US.
