Lest not forget about Mad Mike. We usually high five each other as we tag team the corner.

Grape Tannin; see Tannin

Tannin
Derived from grape skins (among other products) stems and pips. It imparts a kind of astringency to the wine and will aid in a wines longevity.


Correction - The vast majority of tannins sold as "Grape Tannin" are actually derived from chestnut. Yes, even the powders. Isn't 'marketing' great?!

I'm sure the higher end suppliers prduce a genuine product, but real grape tannin is NOT the norm.

Thanks again

No, Thank YOU, Steve. This is an excellent resource! The tannin thing just jumped out at me when I was reviewing it.

Wineyard, similar to a vineyard, but with an emphasis on growing a mix of nongrape fruits for making wine. Often a combination of berries and fruit tress such as elderberries, blackberries, raspberries, currants, and cherry, mulberry, apple and pear trees.

This entry was refused by the twits at the "real" wikipedia who dont know their elbow from a corkscrew but should fit into this dictionary perfectly.

Missing Term.

Chaptalization

From Wiki,

is the process of adding sugar to unfermented grape must in order to increase the alcohol content after fermentation. The technique is named after its developer, the French chemist Jean-Antoine-Claude Chaptal.[1] This process is not intended to make the wine sweeter, but rather to provide more sugar for the yeast to ferment into alcohol.[1]
