• Introduction

    Winemaking is an art that is enjoyable as well as educational. The basics are not difficult to learn. Recipes and educational resources are readily available to help beginners. Advanced techniques can be mastered with study and experience. Education on the fermentation process and factors that affect its success is important. Kits are available that have juice extracts or you can make your own wine from fresh grapes. http://www.winemakermag.com/new/fresh On this site, we have wine making blogs, videos, questions and answers, news, and wine making links that you can use to learn more about this art, to locate suppliers, and to find recipes and fellow wine making hobbyists. You may also want to visit the Mahalo page on How to Make Wine for essential information and some recipes. Below, information on a certificate course in winemaking is provided if you want to pursue formal education in oenology and viticulture. http://extension.ucdavis.edu/unit/winemaking/certificate/winemaking_for_online_learners/

  • Wine Making Styles

    There are a variety of methods of approaching wine making professionally. In a larger sense, there are the "Old World" and the "New World" philosophies. Old World methods are usually associated with the traditional wine making practices of Europe, the middle East and North Africa, while New World Wines are associated with wine making process of North and South America. Correspondingly, old World methodologies, usually rely on the natural yeast fermentation processes and the quality of grapes, while New World approaches are more technical in their approaches for producing quality wines. Old World Wines also are more earthy and drier and depend on structure and other factors to make their wine style. http://www.rackwine.com/OldNewWorldWine/
