Fermentaiton of wine
Fermentation of Wine
A catalyst function that turns grape juice into an
alcoholic beverage
Use of yeast interact with sugars in the juice to
create ethanol
A wine fermentation has two distinct stages:
primary and secondary
Primary fermentation is called an aerobic
fermentation because the fermentation vessel is
allowed to be opened to the air.
- An important roll in the multiplication of
the yeast cells
Secondary Fermentation
Secondary fermentation is when the
remaining 30% of fermentation activity will
occur
Last from 1 to 2 weeks depending on the
amount of nutrient and sugars still available
It is an anaerobic fermentation which
means that air exposure is to be kept to a
minimum
- easily be done by attaching an air-lock to
the fermentation vessel.
Types of fermentation
Bottle fermentation
Bottle fermentation
- At this time the champagne bottle is
capped with a crown cap
- The bottle is then riddled
- The neck is then frozen, and the cap
removed. The pressure in the bottle forces
out the lees, and the bottle is quickly
corked to maintain the carbon dioxide in
solution
Creates the carbon dioxide bubbles

Late Harvest
Use grapes that are left on the vine past the normal harvest time, they will develop more
concentrated sugars and flavors. Late harvest grapes have too much sugar to be entirely
converted by yeast to alcohol.
Passito
Is made with grapes that have been semi-dried and turned into raisins. Passito has a
significant amount of residual sugar and very concentrated flavors.
Sussreserve(sweet reserve)
Are made by adding some unfermented grapes juice to a fermented wine. The sugar in the
juice remains unfermented, making a sweet wine.
The other one method of Sweet Wine Production is to artificially stop the fermentation
process before all of the sugar has been converted into alcohol by yeast
PRODUCTION OF FORTIFIED
WINE
Port Production
Port is a sweet fortified wine that is made when Brandy is added before fermentation
is complete. During this type of Fortified Wine Production, the alcohol kills the yeast
cells and stops fermentation before all of the sugar has been converted.
Sherry Production
Sherry is a dry fortified wine that is produced in the town of Jerez, Spain. Unlike Port,
it is made when Brandy is added to a wine after fermentation is complete.
Marsala Production
Marsala is a fortified wine made on the island of Sicily. Like many fortified wines, the
British were indispensable in importing and distributing Marsala.
Madiera Production
Madeira is from the Madeira Islands off the coast of Portugal. This fortified wine is
often used for cooking. Because it is intentionally oxidized during production, it can
last for an extremely long time.
PRODUCTION OF SPARKLING
WINE
The process is quite similar with others wine, but differ as it undergoes secondary
fermentation in the bottle which trapping carbon dioxide and giving it bubbles.
The critical ingredient is added before the bottling fermentation. The critical
ingredient is the liqueur de triage .This is a combination of yeast and sugar that
has been dissolved in wine.
After they are capped, the bottles are laid on their side in a cool, temperaturecontrolled space.
During the second fermentation, the carbon dioxide is trapped in the bottle, and
the wine becomes carbonated. The part of the Sparkling Wine Production process
rarely takes longer than two weeks and increases the alcohol to around 12%.
