How exactly is wine made? You are probably aware that wine comes from grapes, but what makes it different from grape juice? Chemistry and biology are what make wine unique and determine its flavour. With a more thorough understanding of the science behind the wine making process, the more likely you are to enjoy and appreciate wine.

Throughout history, many scientific discoveries have led to advancements in vinification (wine making), viticulture (the growing of grapes) and wine storage. Science is what gives wine its alcohol, taste, smell, and wine could not exist without it.
