Usodno vino Traditional Cache

Vino
je alkoholna pijača, ki nastane kot rezultat alkoholnega vrenja grozdnega soka oziroma mošta. Beseda izhaja iz latinskega izraza vinum (sorodno starogrškemu οἶνος), ki se nanaša tako na vino kot na trto. Proces alkoholnega vrenja, ki poteka v prisotnosti mikroorganizmov (gliv kvasovk), rad steče v vsakršni sladki tekočini. Sladkor se v tem procesu počasi pretvarja v alkohol.

Od več sto različnih sort trte (Vitis sp.) je le nekaj deset primernih za vzgojo grozdja za vino. Te sorte botaniki poimenujejo s skupnim imenom Vitis vinifera. Vsaka posamezna sorta ima svoje uradno ime, po navadi pa še več ljudskih, lokalnih in nacionalnih različic, kar ustvarja svojevrstno zmedo med laiki in poznavalci. S tem v zvezi poznamo osnovno delitev vina na:

• sortna vina, ki so pridelana iz posameznih sort vinske trte
• in zvrsti (fr. cuvée), ki so tako rekoč mešanice različnih sortnih vin.

Vino je zanimivo iz več razlogov. Gre za priljubljeno in pomembno pijačo, ki spremlja in bogati številne evropske in mediteranske kuhinje, od preprostih tradicionalnih do najbolj prefinjenih in izdelanih. Bolj kot kateri koli drug pridelek odseva raznolikost dežele, lokalne kulture kvasovk ter podnebje in pogoje, pri katerih zori grozdje in pri katerih poteka njegova predelava.

Vino se v številnih kulturah uporablja v verskih obredih. Trgovanje z vinom je številna področja zgodovinsko močno zaznamovalo. Premnogim pripadnikom revnejših slojev prebivalstva v deželah posajenih s trto je izkupiček od vina pomenil glavni vir prihodka, trgovina z vinom pa je bila osnova gospodarstva tudi marsikaterega samostana.

Vinska trta
(znanstveno ime Vitis vinifera ) spada v družino vinikovk (Vitaceae (Lindley) ali Ampelidae (Kunth)), ki ima približno 600 vrst. Največje število vrst je v območjih z zmerno subtropsko in tropsko klimo in jih človek ne uporablja. Le približno 20 vrst se goji za pridelavo grozdja ali podlage. Vse pripadajo rodu Vitis L. Pred približno 100 leti so zanesli iz Amerike v Evropo trsno uš, ki uničuje korenine vinske trte. Evropski vinogradniki se proti trtni uši borijo tako, da domače žlahtne sorte cepijo na ameriške podlage, ki pa so odporne proti trsni uši.

Vinograd
je nasad vinske trte. V njem se prideluje grozdje za predelavo v vino, rozine ali pa se v njem prideluje namizno grozdje. Ob vinogradu pogosto stoji hram ali zidanica, zanj pa je značilen tudi klopotec.

Wine
(from Latin vinum) is an alcoholic beverage made from fermented grapes or other fruits. Due to a natural chemical balance, grapes ferment without the addition of sugars, acids, enzymes, water, or other nutrients. Yeast consumes the sugar in the grapes and converts it to ethanol and carbon dioxide. Different varieties of grapes and strains of yeasts produce different styles of wine. These variations result from the complex interactions between the biochemical development of the grape, the reactions involved in fermentation, the terroir (the special characteristics imparted by geography, geology, climate and plant genetics) and subsequent appellation (the legally defined and protected geographical indication used to identify where the grapes for a wine were grown), along with human intervention in the overall process.

Vitis (grapevines)
is a genus of 79 accepted species of vining plants in the flowering plant family Vitaceae. The genus is made up of species predominantly from the Northern hemisphere. It is economically important as the source of grapes, both for direct consumption of the fruit and for fermentation to produce wine. The study and cultivation of grapevines is called viticulture.

Most Vitis varieties are wind-pollinated with hermaphroditic flowers containing both male and female reproductive structures. These flowers are grouped in bunches called inflorescences. In many species, such as Vitis vinifera, each successfully pollinated flower becomes a grape berry with the inflorescence turning into a cluster of grapes. While the flowers of the grapevines are usually very small, the berries are often big and brightly colored with sweet flavors that attract birds and other animals to disperse the seeds contained within the berries.

Grapevines usually only produce fruit on shoots that came from buds that were developed during the previous growing season. In viticulture, this is one of the principles behind pruning the previous year's growth (or "One year old wood") that includes shoots that have turned hard and woody during the winter (after harvest in commercial viticulture). These vines will be pruned either into a cane which will support 8 to 15 buds or to a smaller spur which holds 2 to 3 buds.

A vineyard
is a plantation of grape-bearing vines, grown mainly for winemaking, but also raisins, table grapes and non-alcoholic grape juice. The science, practice and study of vineyard production is known as viticulture.

A vineyard is often characterised by its terroir, a French term loosely translating as "a sense of place" that refers to the specific geographical and geological characteristics of grapevine plantations, which may be imparted in the wine.
