Since 4,000 BCE, the process of winemaking has largely stayed true to its romantic origins. Swaths of green valleys and majestic rolling hills in beautiful balmy regions like Tuscany, California, or Bordeaux give way to grapes which are harvested, destemmed and sorted before being crushed and pressed. Yeast is introduced to the mixture, and the juice is fermented and aged until the desired flavor and alcohol content is reached. After the wine is produced and bottled, it is stocked on shelves and ultimately immersed into our daily lives.
