What Is Wine?

Wine is an alcoholic beverage made with the fermented juice of grapes.

Technically, any fruit is capable of being used for wine (i.e., apples, cranberries, plums, etc.), but if it just says “wine” on the label, then it’s made with grapes. By the way, wine grapes are different than table grapes.

The difference between two popular drinks, wine and beer, is that brewing beer involves fermented grains. Simply, wine is made from fruit, and beer is made from grains. There are exceptions – that push the boundaries of beer – but that story is for another time.
