Is there anyone who knows the process of making wine? Can you introduce it to me?
I'm curious about it. I think the grape stomp very interesting. Is it still a necessary procedure in modern craft of making wine? Why is the wine better when it is stored longer? Thanks in advance.

Answer

Stomping by foot to press the grapes is no longer a part of commercial wine production. The reason wine is 'aged' (stored) is to allow the sugars, acids and tannins to mature and mellow in flavor. These often complex reactions take time, and therefore wine that has been aged will taste very different than wine that has been freshly pressed.

If you would like to learn more about wine, wikepedia is a great starting resource; there are also many books and websites dedicated to the subject. I think you'll find those places to be a more reliable source of knowledge than italki :)
