The Process of the wine It takes years for wines to be made. The fermentation is the longest part of the process. Here are the step to a healthy and great wine.

Step One:
The first thing you have to do, is harvests. This involve planting the vines, growing the grapes, watering them, and then having to pick them of the vine. It helps to have a lot of acres to grow the grapes on. Most wineries and Vineyards have hundreds and hundred of acres.

Step Two:
The second thing is to crush the grapes. This is a process where the grapes are made into liquid. When wine was first getting started, the way to get the grapes to liquid was using your feet and a bucket. Then in the 17th and 18th century, France invented the wine press. The idea came from an middle age idea of a basket press. Now a days we have a modern press that is hozional and has a belt to move things along.

Step Three:
The three thing Fermentation. This is the process where the wine in put into barrels, sealed, and store to get the grapes to change from fruit to alcohol.

Step four:
The four is the best part. The tasting of the wine by the winery owner's is a honor. They are getting to tell you when they are ready to be boxes and ship to stores around the world.

Step five:
The last step is on us. We are the drinkers. Without us, the wine company would have no one to buy from them.
