Featured Wine Terms from City Pages Blog:
*QPR- Quality to price ratio. A common wine geek term used to describe an inexpensive wine that shows above average to exceptional quality. A wine I love to use for this term is Dr. Loosen "Dr. L" Riesling and the Columbia Crest Grand Estates line both selling for under $10.
Vitis vinifera- Over 99% of the world's wine is created from the Vitis vinifera vine species. There are thousands of examples of this species and some of the more popular ones are Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Pinot Noir, Riesling and Grenache.
Corked- This happens when the cork in the bottle is infected prior to bottling and it is infected with TCA (Trichloroanisole). The wine will have an unpleasant odor and is undrinkable. Wet cardboard is often a descriptor of a corked bottle of wine in regards to smell. A fine wine shop will take the bottle back and replace it.
Carbonic maceration- A technique used during fermentation to create wines with low tannins, a fruit forward style and dark color. Whole clusters are dumped into a vat and the weight of the grapes above crush the ones below starting fermentation. The carbon dioxide gas rises and is blocked from transmitting into the air by the above grapes. The whole batch gets pressed and fermentation is finished the standard way. You will see this technique in the wines of Beaujolais.
