Wine is made by fermenting crushed grapes, which releases sugars and allows yeast to produce alcohol. Grapes are harvested by hand or machine and crushed to extract juice, which undergoes primary fermentation with skins for red wine or separately for white wine. Secondary fermentation occurs in steel vats or oak barrels until the alcohol level reaches 14-15%, then wines are aged, bottled with corks, and ready for enjoyment.
