Once the fruits ferment, the sugar within the fruit will turn into alcohol. The wine will display a different color, taste, and aroma depending on the type of fruit that it was made from.

Wine is divided into three main categories - fortified, sparkling, and table. Wine is known as fortified when a bit of brandy is added into it to enrich the alcohol. Wine is deemed as sparkling when it has the right level of C02. Table wine, the third category, is wine in it's natural form - which is different from any other type of wine.

Organic Food Organic food is generally considered to be produced without the use of artificial fertilizers, without synthetic pesticides or antibiotics, hormones or other growth promoters.

 

The advantages of organic food for the consumer include higher nutritional levels, and over the long term studies have found the health benefits to be substantial.
