POPULAR WINE VARIETIES IN KAZAKHSTAN

The history of winemaking has more than one millennium, but, despite such a respectable age, the craft continues to develop tirelessly: new technologies, recipes, methods are applied. Thanks to the love of man for wine, as well as his desire to obtain the perfect drink, new wines began to appear.

It is very difficult to name the exact number, because there are infinitely many varieties of cooking, as well as varieties. The taste of the final product is influenced by a number of factors: temperature, the number of filtrations, the capacity for aging and others. But the main criterion, of course, is the grape itself. The style of wine will depend on its taste: different wines have different density, taste and aroma. We present you the most popular wines in Kazakhstan.

BASIC WINE VARIETIES.
All wines, depending on the varietal composition can be divided into:

mono decadal (one variety of grapes was used);
blended (combination of different types).
There are also other classifications of wine:

By color: white, red, pink.
On sugar content: dry, sweet, semi-dry and semi-sweet.
Spirits: fortified and non-bonded.
On the content of carbon dioxide: quiet and sparkling.
Different wines are suitable for different dishes:

Madera and sherry – suitable as an aperitif.
White table representatives are combined with vegetable snacks, lean meat and seafood.
Dry, semi-dry and semisweet drinks are suitable for vegetables, and red canteens for meat delicacies. Snacks are perfectly complemented by champagne.

The concept of “the best grape variety” is quite extensive and very individual, each admirer of a noble drink has its own ideas of ideal taste. In the arsenal of modern winemakers there is not one or even 10 grape varieties. It is impossible to determine the best of them, each of them is unique.

There is no ideal grape variety, which is equally successfully cultivated in different wine-growing regions. Here climatic conditions (amount of precipitation, temperature) and composition of the soil are of great importance. The same grape variety grown in different regions shows different yield results, and the berries themselves have different taste characteristics. This was the reason for the emergence of another classification: geographical affiliation.
