Sparkling, Fortified, Oak and Sweetness

INT-WINE-1-1 · From Vine to Bottle: What Shapes Wine Style · INT-WINE-1-1.2 In the Winery: Turning Grapes into Wine

Sparkling wine gains its bubbles from a second fermentation in bottle or tank, and fortified wine gains strength from added spirit whose timing decides sweetness. Oak seasons a wine while steel preserves fruit, and residual sugar sets the dry-to-sweet scale.
