The perfect wine for you is wine in a million. The wine bars that are on this list are compiled based on what’s heard on the grapevine.
This grape-based drink is not only good for pairing with food but also because of the health benefits it contains. It starts off with water, alcohol, various aromatic compounds, acids, and tannins. The sugar needed to ferment the wine into alcohol is found on the skin of the grape. The yeast eats the sugar provided by the grape and produces alcohol. Acid is a naturally occurring component in fruit. Combined with the additives and tannins, wine is created.
