WHAT IS WINE ? ANGELA & BRIAN

ANGELA & BRIAN



WINE GLADDENS THE 🧡 OF MAN ~ LIBERATES THE 🧡 OF WOMAN

 

RETAIL WINE is 87% WATER (H20)

12% ALCOHOL ~ ETHANOL (CH3CH2OH)

And 1% *OTHER* for Aroma & Taste !

 

ACID gives WINE its Sour & Dry taste

SUGAR gives WINE its Sweet & Mellow taste

ESTERS provide aromas & tastes of Fruit & Flower

They are derived from Yeasts used in fermentation.

PHENOLS contribute to aroma & taste

They are derived from Grapes & the Ageing Process.

 ACEALDEHYDE (CH3CHO) imparts an Apple aroma

ACETIC ACID (CH3COOH) and higher acids

Impart a CHEESY flavour & aroma

GLYCEROL (CH2OHCHOHCH2OH) a sweet & fruity taste 

Higher Alcohols  contribute to aroma & taste

AMINO ACIDS include Proline & Argenine etc !

 

MINERALS include ~ Iron ~ Magnesium ~ Zinc

COLOUR is derived from the skin of Black & Red Grapes

SODIUM SULPHITE (Na2SO3) is added as a Preservative !

OVER 50% of WORLD WINE is produced in EUROPE

Italy (17.2) France (16.5) Spain (14.5) Germany (3.5) etc

 

Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ Love A & B 🧡🧡🧡

 

WINE has been produced for thousands of years and modern 

Vintniculture ensures that you can purchase a really decent 

Bottle of Wine anywhere in the World for under £15 ($20).

We should explain some of the Chemistry of Wine. 

FERMENTATION converts some of the Grape Sugar into

ETHANOL  (CH3CH2OH) and CO2 ~ Some of the ETHANOL

is oxidised to ETHANAL (CH3CHO) and then to ETHANOIC

ACID (CH3COOH) which is VINEGAR ~ SIMPLE ! 

This explains why ~ when opened and exposed to AIR

(oxygen) WINE should be consumed within 2 or 3 days !

This gives MEN an good scientific excuse to always finish

a BOTTLE ! If you visit a WINERY and see the TLC that is

lavished on growing the GRAPE and producing and blending

and aging and marketing the WINE ~ Then it is well worth

the asking PRICE ! Angela & I always try to visit VINEYARDS

  (for Academic Reasons !) when we visit a New Country ~ We

are always made very welcome !  Love ANGELA & BRIAN 🧡🧡🧡

    Personally, when I do drink wine, I prefer Italian red wine. My mom loves wine, but cannot drink to much because of the sulfur. Still, a little wine is good for the stomach.
    Persistence is key

    • ANGELA & BRIAN

      Thanks for your comment DION ! Most things in moderation are GOOD for you ! It is excess that dulls ones senses ! In BROTHER PAULS Water was often polluted (like Mexican Tap Water) so he advised Timothy to *Take a LITTLE WINE for his stomachs ake and oft infirmities !* Note He a LITTLE ! Moderation in All Things is also the KEY !

      Blessings & Love in the Spirit

        Thanks *OUT* for a very interesting HISTORICAL comment on WINE which has been used ceremoniously & spiritually down the ages ! I agree MUNICIPAL water contains CHLORINE to Kill bacterian etc and FLUORIDE to strengthen Teeth Enamel. When I used to visit the Local prison to teach GUITAR the inmates warned me that the CUP of TEA they served me cantained BROMIDE to reduce LIBIDO ! So the GOVERNMENT could do the same to keep the population DOWN ! WINE is a many splendoured thing !

        Thanks for sharing
        Yours ANGELA & BRIAN 🧡🧡

        Shurrup science teacher and get it down yer neck.... LOL

        Its not about it's composition scientifically, its the pure enjoyment.

        A chemistry lesson in sex is nothing compared to the act after all eh?

        (In computer science, persistence refers to the characteristic of state that outlives the process that created it.)

          Greetings DA ~ Thanks for your comments ~ I agree ! At a recent Wedding ~ for his SPEECH ~ the Best Man raised his Glass of Vino and said *DOWN THE HATCH* and sat down ! Drinking Wine (like SEX) is nuch better EXPERIENCED than EXPLAINED ~ hoever if More MEN understood SEX (and foreplay) from a LADIES point of view ~ then More LADIES would be more SATISFIED. The same is true of WINE ! Some of my Students are studying Catering so it is one of my tasks to teach the EONOLOGY ~ The Science of WINE. The reason for this is that when they work as Waiters (including Wine Waiters) in HOTELS the Customer will EXPECT THEM to suggest a Wine which complements the Meal & say WHY. They should not choose the most expensive but the most appropriate ! On CRUISES Wines are often suggested to complement the MAIN COURSES ~ It is a Black Art. However most Poeple know what they prefer and stick to it. The same is true of BEERS & SPIRITS ! There is a Saying *When in Rome ~ Drink as the Romans do !* and there is a lot of sense in that ~ OK Thanks again for tour comments

          Yours as ever ANGELA & BRIAN 🧡🧡🧡🧡

          • dusk arising

            Well, if you would like some education in wine or foreplay just come to the master LOL

          • orchidee

            So..... the water's already been added to it! Have to come back and fangle me way through this. Never knew there was so much on wine! lol.

          • orchidee

            Ohhh here's my scientific poem on Wine:
            ABC
            BBC
            ITV
            123
            H2O and what-not
            Makes the wine -
            Just add water
            Oh I have already - H2O!

            • ANGELA & BRIAN

              Thanks UNCLE STEVE for your usual DROLL COMMENT ~ The Greeks have a word for it EONOLOGY ~ The Science of Wine ! It is a subject I teach my Catering Students because when they work in Hotels they are expected to suggest an Appropriate Wine to the Clients to complement the Meal ~ A Black Art. One should never add water to Wine in a Restaurant or Hotel ~ because the VINTNER has bottled it to perfection and any dilution would disturb the BALANCE. However drinking RUSTIC RED in a French Farmhouse one is EXPECTED to *Dilute with rustic water to taste !* Rule No. 2 NEVER EVER feed undiluted WINE to a DOG !

              Blessings and Controlled JOY (Trump is HERE !) for ~
              YOU & FIDO ~ LOVE ANGELA & BRIAN 🧡🧡🧡🧡 + 🧡

              Wine and sex in the same set of comments - all's well with the world.

              • ANGELA & BRIAN

                THANKS UNCLE MICHAEL ~ YES ! We always read to comments people make on POEMS often more enlightning than the POEMS themsleves. I (BRIAN) teach EONOLOGY (Wine Technology) to the Catering Students with PRACTICAL (Tastings and I do get PAID) and I also A-Level Human Biology (without PRACTICAL !) to the Prenursing Students. To fully appreciate both SEX & WINE a little knowledge leads to a better understanding of BOTH and ANGELA agrees with me ! We can share an identical Bottle of Wine 11,500 miles apart ~ and comment on its *QUALITY* but not *Physical SEX* ! I envy ANGELA this week because she is visiting the Auckland Vineyards with her MAMA & PAPA and helping her PAPA to promote RIOJA !

                Blessings & Love to You & Yours
                Yours ANGELA (NZ) & BRIAN (UK) 🧡🧡🧡🧡

                Thanks for the lesson but wine is easily chosen, you like it or you don’t like it, I have found many that I do like and am prepared to try others.
                I used to make wine some years ago, most was OK but one I made was so awful that I used it to strip paint! Lol

                • ANGELA & BRIAN

                  YES INDEED UNCLE ANDY ~ Over the Years one *discovers* a number of Wines (White - Rose - Red) and different varieties of Grape that are *pleasing* to ones palate and complement various *foods*. It is wise to make a note for future enjoyment ! Angela & I have similar tastes and being a VITNERS Daughter she does keep notes. Home made wine is a very BLACK ART ! The bitter principles are often ROUGUE MOLECULES ! You will be familiar with Column Chromatography and an impotable HM Wine can be greatly improved by passing it through an ALUMINA or SILICA column ! All the WATER & ETHANOL passes through and magically most of the positive flavours & aromas while the ones which rendered the WINE impotable are trapped on the COLUMN ! The secret is to replace the column regularly to prevent the *Bitter Principles* moving through. Similarly a domestic tap water softener can be used ! Of coure one could always distill out the alcohol and make VODKA but that is illegal in the UK ! Pleased you liked the Presentation !

                  Blessings & Love to YOU & JOYCE
                  Yours ANGELA & BRIAN 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
