    Is wine fattening?

    Eva Pizarro / Sumiller We are going to solve this important question, so let's see what wine is made of. Wine is a drink obtained from the fruit of the grape, which has to ferment, and to do this, it is necessary for the grapes to contain minimum levels of sugar. Sugar! The big word forbidden in all diets. The main carbohydrates we are going to find in this drink are glucose and fructose. Alcoholic fermentation will transform the sugars of the must (grape juice) into ethanol, a type of alcohol. After fermentation, residual sugars may remain in our wines, those that have not been consumed during fermentation, resulting in semi-sweet or sweet wines.

    Do yo know what sulphite-free wines are?

    por Eva Pizarro /sumiller If you are a wine lover, you may have noticed that, in recent years, the word sulphites has become established as a concept linked to wines, but... do we really know what sulphites are? Sulphur dioxide is a chemical preservative that has been added to many foods and drinks for a long time. It is not something recent or exclusively linked to wine. The sulphites we are referring to, and which we see in wine as a kind of sediment or crystallite, are salts produced by combining the aforementioned sulphuric acid with other elements. You must know that it is not always added; during the winemaking process, sulphites can also be generated in a natural way. What is true is that the use of sulphuric acid is usually linked to modern oenology, because in this way you can have more control during the whole process. WHY DO WE USE THEM IN WINEMAKING? Quite simply, it is a matter of colour. Sulphites are an antioxidant that help us to prevent loss of colour or degradation in wines. Sight plays a very important role, and a wine that has a colour that does not correspond to the established canons may easily be rejected.
