dry (sugar content - 3 g/l);
semi-dry (sugar - from 4 to 18 g / l);
semi-sweet (sugar - from 18 to 45 g / l);
sweet (sugar content from 45 g/l).

Table wine in a glass

Table wine is made by complete (dry) or incomplete (semi-dry and sweet wine) fermentation of the must. Such an alcoholic drink is natural, since during production it is not allowed to introduce an extraneous component (for example, alcohol) into the wort. Wine is produced both from one grape variety (varietal), and from several different (blended).

Dry table differs from others in relatively low alcohol content and the presence of freshness in taste. Semi-dry and semi-sweet wine has an unobtrusive sweetness on the palate. The quality of the drink directly depends on the production technology. There are such varieties:

ordinary - wine without aging, which is released within 3 months after production;
vintage - aged wine good quality from various grape varieties with the presence of production features that distinguish the manufacturing country;
collection - an alcoholic drink of excellent quality with an exposure of at least 6 years.

The production of this type of alcoholic beverage is the most difficult. The wine requires good care and a low temperature in the room during production. A characteristic feature is the absence of intoxication after consumption.

A special subspecies are yellow wine products. It includes a specially oxidized table drink made from white grapes from the southern region of wine production. Characteristic representatives are French yellow wine from the Jura department, some Armenian wines, Tokay native wine from Hungary, and table sherry.

They have an old way of cooking that does not change from year to year. This wine is made from both white and red grapes.

It can be attributed to the table products of wine production and some fizzy drinks. They are produced by adding too much carbon dioxide to the wine. The grape variety plays a key role in the production of this champagne.

Separately, it is necessary to single out such a group as wine materials. According to the method of manufacture, as well as their purpose, they are divided into dry wine materials and non-fermented wines. It can be dry white wine material (sherry, blend, cognac, table, champagne), and red (it is used in the production of table and sparkling wines).

According to etiquette, it is customary to fill a glass no more than 2/3 of the capacity in order to be able to evaluate the taste and color of the drink. It is not necessary to consume the product of winemaking immediately, it is necessary to wait a little for it to be saturated with oxygen.

Crimean wine should also be singled out separately. Winemaking in this region has been developed since the ancient times of Chersonesus and the Bosphorus kingdom.

White table dry wines are characterized by a very wide variety of organoleptic qualities: from fresh with a hint of grapes and young with carbon dioxide residues to mature aged and sometimes thin old bottled wines; from light - from the northern regions of viticulture to more complete - from the south; from simple in aroma to elegant, complex in bouquet.

This is due not only to the difference in technologies for their production. Here, the influence of the raw materials, the extraordinary variety of grape varieties used, including Muscat and other aromatic varieties, as well as red varieties, largely affects.

The very state of white grape varieties is also varied: their degree of maturity and quality depending on the region, microzone, illumination of the site, and conditions of the year.

At the same time, in all white wines, the slightest flaws are easily detected, hidden in other wines by a high concentration of alcohol, a strong aroma, and phenolic substances. The quality of white wines is especially affected by the agrotechnical factors of grape cultivation, the sanitary condition of the berries, the characteristics of the primary processing of grapes, and the conditions of winemaking.

For white table wines, oxidation tones and roughness in taste are unacceptable. They should have a straw-yellow or straw-greenish color, a well-defined varietal or floral aroma and a delicate taste with pleasant acidity.

These are ordinary white dry wines: Aligote, Riesling, Sauvignon, Feteasca from the same grape varieties; Solar bunch from Rkatsiteli and Borzhavskoye from Müller-Thurgau in Ukraine; Viorica in Moldova and Stremyannoye in Russia from a mixture of white varieties.

Fine wines of this group also have unacceptable oxidation, but in the bouquet and taste, along with varietal qualities, there should be ethereal tones of aging and a special pleasant aftertaste. The standards of such wines are Riesling Abrau and Tsinandali.

Riesling Abrau - the first Russian white table wine, created in the 80s. of the last century in "Abrau-Dyurso" (near Novorossiysk) by E. A. Vedel. His technology has spread to all domestic vintage white dry wines. Riesling Abrau is made from Rhine Riesling grown on sandy and marl soils.

The wine is light golden in color with a greenish tinge and crystal clear with a sheen; has a delicate Riesling bouquet, refreshing taste with tones of aging, sometimes with a slight tarry tint. The wine was awarded one gold, 8 silver and 4 bronze medals.

Tsinandali is one of the best wines. Created in 1926 by A. A. Egorov in the ancient center of Georgian winemaking Tsinandali from Rkatsiteli and Mtsvane varieties. Wine of light straw color with a delicate floral-ethereal bouquet and a full harmonious taste, quite fresh, with a pleasant aftertaste of barrel aging. Tsinandali was awarded 10 gold and 9 silver medals.

Preparation of moonshine and alcohol for personal use
absolutely legal!

After the demise of the USSR, the new government stopped the fight against moonshine. Criminal liability and fines were abolished, and an article prohibiting the production of alcohol-containing products at home was removed from the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. To this day, there is not a single law that prohibits you and me from engaging in our favorite hobby - making alcohol at home. This is evidenced by the Federal Law of July 8, 1999 No. 143-FZ “On Administrative Responsibility legal entities(organizations) and individual entrepreneurs for offenses in the field of production and circulation of ethyl alcohol, alcoholic and alcohol-containing products” (Collection of Legislation Russian Federation, 1999, N 28, art. 3476).

Extract from federal law RF:

"The effect of this Federal Law does not apply to the activities of citizens (individuals) who do not produce products containing ethyl alcohol for the purpose of marketing."

Moonshine in other countries:

In Kazakhstan in accordance with the Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan On Administrative Offenses dated January 30, 2001 N 155, the following liability is provided. So, according to article 335 “Manufacture and sale alcoholic beverages home-made" illegal manufacture for the purpose of selling moonshine, chacha, mulberry vodka, mash and other alcoholic beverages, as well as the sale of these alcoholic beverages entails a fine in the amount of thirty monthly calculation indices with confiscation of alcoholic beverages, apparatus, raw materials and equipment for their manufacture, and also received from their sale of money and other valuables. However, the law does not prohibit the preparation of alcohol for personal purposes.

In Ukraine and Belarus things are different. Articles No. 176 and No. 177 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of Ukraine provide for the imposition of fines in the amount of three to ten tax-free minimum wages for the manufacture and storage of moonshine without the purpose of sale, for the storage without the purpose of sale of apparatus * for its production.

Article 12.43 repeats this information practically word for word. “Production or purchase of strong alcoholic beverages (moonshine), semi-finished products for their production (mash), storage of devices for their production” in the Code of the Republic of Belarus on Administrative Offenses. Item number 1 says: "Manufacturing individuals strong alcoholic beverages (moonshine), semi-finished products for their manufacture (mash), as well as storage of devices * used for their manufacture - entails a warning or a fine in the amount of up to five basic units with confiscation of these drinks, semi-finished products and devices.

*Purchase moonshine stills for home use, it is still possible, since their second purpose is the distillation of water and the production of components for natural cosmetics and perfumes.

An ordinary buyer cannot always understand what is the fundamental difference between them. And if everything is even more or less clear with the color and the country of the manufacturer, then how to determine the degree of strength, sugar content and aging?

Wine classification

All grape wines are divided into two main types - sparkling (effervescent and champagne) and still wines. If we talk about quiet (not containing carbonic acid), then all of them, in turn, are divided into three categories - table, fortified and dessert. Table wines have the lowest strength (no more than 14% vol.) and are produced using natural fermentation technology. Depending on the sugar content, table wines are divided into dry, semi-dry and semi-sweet. They can be white, red and pink in color.

The next two categories of wines are fortified (aged), which allow the addition of rectified alcohol in the production technology, and dessert wines, which are flavored with various additives and have a high sugar content.

How and with what to use table wines

Having dealt with the main classification of wines, you also need to know that the definition of "table" is not always indicated on the label. The correct table wine is "ordinary" wine, as labels are usually labeled. Ordinary wine began to be called table wine due to the fact that these wines, in terms of their taste, are most optimally suited for consumption during meals. And if we talk specifically about the use of ordinary wines, then, depending on their classification, to different types certain wines are served.

For example, dry white wine is served with fish and poultry dishes. A heavier meat meal involves the use of rich red wines, and depending on the type of meat served, the appropriate wine is selected. For example, beef goes well with any degree of sweetness, but dry red wine is most suitable for fatty pork.

Rosé table wines are served with light salad appetizers and as an aperitif before dinner. It is allowed to serve rose wines with some desserts and fruits. Rosé and white wines can be consumed throughout the meal, while red wines are usually only served with the main course.

It is impossible not to mention the classic use of table wines as an addition to a picnic. In the fresh air, any ordinary wine goes well with appetizers of cheese, bread and cold meat.
