Abstract
Wine is an alcoholic beverage made from the fermentation of grape juice. The
natural chemical balance of grapes is such that they can ferment without the
addition of sugars, acids, enzymes or other nutrients. Wine is produced by
fermenting crushed grapes using various types of yeast which consume the
sugars found in the grapes and convert them into alcohol. Various varieties of
grapes and strains of yeasts are used depending on the types of wine produced.
The wine industry can be defined by establishments primarily engaged in
manufacturing wines, brandy, and brandy spirits. This business also includes
bonded wine cellars which are engaged in blending wines.
Wine has a rich history dating back to around 6000 BC and is thought to have
originated in areas now within the borders of Georgia and Iran. Wine probably
appeared in Europe at about 4500 BC in what is now Bulgaria and Greece, and
was very common in ancient Greece, Thrace and Rome. Wine has also played an
important role in religion throughout history. The Greek god Dionysus and the
Roman god Bacchus represented wine, and the drink is also used in Christian
and Jewish ceremonies such as the Eucharist and Kiddush.
The UK' s historical connection with wine goes back to Roman times. Although
the UK is one of the smallest wine producers in the EU, it is the largest
importer by value in the world. The UK is often considered to be the hub of
the international trade in wine and as a result has a thriving industry
stretching from importers and bottlers through to freight forwarders and
retailers. There are 362 registered vineyards in the UK, comprising of 923
hectares.
