How is wine made?

Wine can be made from many types of fruits and plants that contain natural sugar. The largest amount of wine is made from grapes. This is the most suitable natural product for winemaking, because grapes contain enough sugar for fermentation. It also produces the yeast that starts the wine-making process after the juice has been squeezed.

Grapes grown for wine contain more sugar and less acid. It is harvested at a certain degree of maturity required for the production of wine. Mechanical crushers crush the fruits and gently squeeze out the juice so as not to destroy the seeds. Natural wine yeast contained in the shell of the fruit ferments the juice, converting grape sugar into alcohol and carbon dioxide.

White wines are obtained by fermenting grape juice without shells, red - with shells. The color of the wine is given by the shells of the fruit. When the wine reaches the desired color, the peel is removed and the wine ferments without it. If winemakers want sweet wine, they stop the fermentation process before all the sugar has been converted to alcohol and carbon dioxide. If dry wine is needed, the juice is allowed to ferment until almost all of the sugar has been destroyed. After the end of the fermentation process, the wine is poured into barrels for maturation.

Maturation is divided into two stages. At the first stage, wooden barrels are used. In the second stage, the wine is bottled. The aging time of the wine and bringing it to the condition depends on its type. Maturation turns a young wine from an ordinary mash into an exquisite drink with a delicate taste.

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

Why is the bagpipe pulled?

The bagpipe is a musical instrument that is very similar to a bag of straws. This bag, which is called "fur", is an air reservoir, it is made of goatskin or calfskin. Several tubes are inserted into the bag. Through one of them, air is supplied to the bag, and then it inflates like a balloon. The second pipe resembles a flute with holes - it is played by a piper. There are several other tubes that continuously emit bass sounds. The musician can simply hold the instrument under his arm, pressing it with his elbow, and the bagpipe will sound itself.

When the bag is compressed, air escapes from it and the tubes begin to play. This lingering and rather nasal sound of the bagpipes is compared by the people with any sluggishness and slowness. Hence the expression familiar to everyone: "pull the bagpipe", "pipe".

A New Way to Control and Manipulate Optical Signals 05.05.2024

The modern world of science and technology is developing rapidly, and every day new methods and technologies appear that open up new prospects for us in various fields. One such innovation is the development by German scientists of a new way to control optical signals, which could lead to significant progress in the field of photonics. Recent research has allowed German scientists to create a tunable waveplate inside a fused silica waveguide. This method, based on the use of a liquid crystal layer, allows one to effectively change the polarization of light passing through a waveguide. This technological breakthrough opens up new prospects for the development of compact and efficient photonic devices capable of processing large volumes of data. The electro-optical control of polarization provided by the new method could provide the basis for a new class of integrated photonic devices. This opens up great opportunities for ... >>

Primium Seneca keyboard 05.05.2024

Keyboards are an integral part of our daily computer work. However, one of the main problems that users face is noise, especially in the case of premium models. But with the new Seneca keyboard from Norbauer & Co, that may change. Seneca is not just a keyboard, it is the result of five years of development work to create the ideal device. Every aspect of this keyboard, from acoustic properties to mechanical characteristics, has been carefully considered and balanced. One of the key features of Seneca is its silent stabilizers, which solve the noise problem common to many keyboards. In addition, the keyboard supports various key widths, making it convenient for any user. Although Seneca is not yet available for purchase, it is scheduled for release in late summer. Norbauer & Co's Seneca represents new standards in keyboard design. Her ... >>

The world's tallest astronomical observatory opened 04.05.2024

Exploring space and its mysteries is a task that attracts the attention of astronomers from all over the world. In the fresh air of the high mountains, far from city light pollution, the stars and planets reveal their secrets with greater clarity. A new page is opening in the history of astronomy with the opening of the world's highest astronomical observatory - the Atacama Observatory of the University of Tokyo. The Atacama Observatory, located at an altitude of 5640 meters above sea level, opens up new opportunities for astronomers in the study of space. This site has become the highest location for a ground-based telescope, providing researchers with a unique tool for studying infrared waves in the Universe. Although the high altitude location provides clearer skies and less interference from the atmosphere, building an observatory on a high mountain poses enormous difficulties and challenges. However, despite the difficulties, the new observatory opens up broad research prospects for astronomers. ... >>

Samsung 12nm dynamic RAM 22.12.2022

Samsung Electronics has announced the development of its 16 GB dynamic RAM using the field's first 12nm technology.

With mass production due to begin in 2023, the company said its new RAM will enhance next-generation computing, data centers and AI applications with best-in-class performance and greater energy efficiency.

"With exceptional performance and energy efficiency, we expect our new DRAM to serve as the foundation for more resilient operations in areas such as next-generation computing, data centers, and AI-driven systems" - Zhuyong Li, Executive Vice President, DRAM Product

In addition, when combined with advanced multi-layer ultraviolet (EUV) lithography, the new DRAM has the industry's highest matrix density, allowing for a 20 percent increase in wafer throughput.

The company claims that the new 12nm-class DRAM will help unlock speeds of up to 7,2Gbps, which will help it process two 30GB UHD movies in just one second.

"We are excited to partner with Samsung once again, specifically to introduce DDR5 memory products that are optimized and validated on the 'Zen' platforms," Joe Macri, Senior Vice President, Corporate Officer and CTO of AMD Computing and Graphics, said in a statement.

Consuming 23 percent less power than previous DRAM, 12nm class DRAM will be the ideal solution for global IT companies seeking greener operations.
