My Favorite FANTASTIC Wine!
Hi:
Here is my wine fantasy.
Ripe French white wine grapes are used.
Before fermentation, all acids, sulphides, oxides, minerals, metals,
ions, and electrolytes are removed from the grape juice. Ph is at least
7.
Fermentation is performed solely by wine yeasts. Yeasts are protected
from their own alcohol so that it doesn't injure or kill them. Vinegar
yeasts, acidic bacteria [e.g. lactic and acetic], mold, mildew, and
other foreign microbes are prohibited from entering the wine or any of
the wine's equipment.
After alcoholic fermentation is complete, all CO2 as well as any acids,
sulphides, oxides, ions, minerals, metals, and electrolytes indirectly
occurring during the fermentation are removed. All yeast are also
removed from the wine. The pH now is also at least 7.
Now the aging process begins and is performed by bacteria. Anaerobic
bacteria [excluding lactic and acetic acid bacteria] enter the white
wine. The bacteria initially feed on all organic substances present in
the wine [excluding ethanol] and produce foul-smelling substances.
After this, any resulting acids, sulphides, oxides, minerals, metal,
ions and electrolytes are removed from the wine. Following this, the
bacteria then feed on 50% of the molecules of ethanol present in the
wine while leaving the other half of ethanol molecules unaffected --
this decrease the alcohol content of the wine by 50%. More
foul-smelling substances are excreted from these bacteria. Following
this, any resulting acids, sulphides, oxides, minerals, metals, ions
and electrolytes are removed from the stinky white wine.
Next, these bacteria die [for some mysterious reason] and a new batch
of anaerobic, non-acidic bacteria are inserted into the stinky white
wine. These new set of bacteria then cannibalize the all dead bacteria
and produce more foul-smelling substances. The new bacteria then flee
the wine and the wine equipment. Finally, any resulting acids,
sulfides, oxides, minerals, metals, ions and electrolytes are once
again removed from the even stinkier white wine.
End result: my favorite white wine!!!
Would anyone like to try my favorite white wine???
