Wine is an alcoholic beverage, usually made
from fermented grape pulp, although wines
have also traditionally been made from many
other fruits such as damsons and
elderberries. Red wine is the product of the
grape with the skin, white wine of the inner
pulp of the grape. The sugar content is
converted to ethyl alcohol by the yeast
Saccharomyces ellipsoideus, which lives on
the skin of the grape. The largest
wine-producing countries are Italy, France,
Russia, Georgia, Moldova, Armenia, and Spain.
Others include almost all European countries,
Australia, South Africa, the USA, and Chile.
