Hi:
Here is my wine fantasy. Ripe French white wine grapes are used. Throughout the wine-making and wine-storing process, the entire equipments' insides are keep free of oxygen -- this prevent conversion of alcohol to acetic acid and also prevent any oxidation from occuring. In addition, any excess acidity in any part of the wine-making process is prevented using full-proofs methods. Fermentation is performed solely by wine yeasts. Yeasts are somehow protected from their own ethanol 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 somehow prohibited from entering the wine or any of the wine's equipment. After alcoholic fermentation is completed, the yeast somehow flee the wine equipment. Because the yeast are somehow totally protected from the ethanol, they survive and are able to completely convert all the sugar in the grape juice to ethanol. Now the aging process begins and is performed by anaerobic bacteria. During this process no microbes other than anaerobic bacteria are allowed into any part of the wine's equipment. The bacteria initially feed on all organic substances present in the wine [excluding ethanol] and produce foul-smelling substances. 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 ethanol content of the wine by 50%. More foul-smelling substances are excreted from these bacteria. Finally, any sulfides [inluding hydrogen sulfide], oxides [including CO2] that maybe produced are somehow removed. Last but not least, any substances that do not cause, affect, or add any smell or flavor to the wine [excluding water] are somehow removed completely. End result: my favorite white wine!!! Would anyone like to try my favorite white wine??? Regards, Radium |
