Takeaways
- 🍇 Wine is made from the fermentation of the year's fruit, specifically from grapes belonging to the Vitaceae family.
- 🌡 The grapevine requires harsh climatic conditions to develop properly, with temperatures around 25 degrees Celsius and gentle winds to reduce fungal incidence.
- 🌱 Grapevines are typically propagated through cuttings rather than seeds, with the operation occurring in spring and fruits maturing by late summer to early autumn.
- 🍇🔪 The grape harvest, which is crucial for wine production, typically takes place between February and April, with white varieties harvested first.
- 🛠️ Mechanical harvesting involves a machine designed to remove grapes without damaging the plant, followed by hand-picking if necessary.
- 🧪 The most important stage in wine production is fermentation, where grape sugar is converted into alcohol by yeasts, both naturally occurring and lab-selected.
- 🍇🍶 After fermentation, the wine undergoes processes such as racking (remontaje) to aerate the mass and promote yeast activity, and clarification to achieve a cleaner and clearer wine.
- 🚰 Secondary fermentation may occur, where malic acid is converted to lactic acid by lactic bacteria, reducing the wine's acidity.
- 🍾 The final steps in wine production include filtration to remove any remaining particles and bottling, which prepares the wine for market or further aging.
- 📈 Argentina's internal wine market is significant, with 75% of production being consumed domestically, and it is less affected by economic crises due to the affordability of most wines.
- 🌍 Argentina's wine export sector has been dynamic since the late 1990s, with Mendoza being the leading province in production and export, accounting for 65% of national production and 84% of export values.
Q & A
What is the primary ingredient used to make wine?
-The primary ingredient used to make wine is the fruit of the vine, specifically grapes that belong to the family of Vitis vinifera.
What type of environmental conditions are required for the proper growth of grapevines?
-Grapevines require arid climatic conditions to develop properly, with temperatures around 25 degrees Celsius, good sunlight for sugar development, and gentle winds that facilitate leaf growth and reduce the incidence of fungi.
How does grapevine reproduction typically occur?
-Grapevines typically do not reproduce with seeds but through cuttings taken from the same plant, a process that occurs in spring.
What are the two main parts of a grape cluster?
-The two main parts of a grape cluster are the 'rachis' or stalk, which holds the grapes, and the rest, which is made up of the skin, pulp, and seeds.
What is the most important stage in the wine-making process?
-The most important stage in the wine-making process is fermentation, during which the sugar of the grape is transformed into alcohol.
What microorganisms are responsible for the fermentation of grape sugars into alcohol?
-Wild yeasts, known as 'indigenous' yeasts, are responsible for the transformation of grape sugars into alcohol. Nowadays, selected yeast strains are often added from a laboratory to ensure optimal fermentation.
When does the grape harvest typically take place in Argentina?
-In Argentina, the grape harvest typically takes place between February and April, with white varieties harvested earlier and red varieties later.
What is the purpose of the 'remontaje' process in wine-making?
-The 'remontaje' process is used to aerate the mass, providing greater yeast development, increased fermentative activity, and a rise in temperature, as well as homogenizing the mass and dispersing the extracted substances.
What is the 'malolactic fermentation' and its purpose in wine-making?
-Malolactic fermentation is a secondary fermentation process where malic acid is transformed into lactic acid by lactic bacteria, reducing the wine's acidity and releasing carbon dioxide.
What are the two main methods for clarifying wine?

el vino es la bebida obtenida por
fermentación del fruto del año
específicamente de las que pertenecen a
la familia de las bicis mineras existe
también varias especies de dudas que no
sean aptas para la elaboración de vinos
de calidad la vid es una planta rastrera
que se necesita de condiciones
climáticas austeras para desarrollarse
correctamente temperaturas de 25 grados
aproximadamente alguien desea lumínica
que desarrolla mayor contenido azúcar y
vientos suaves que facilitan el agrado
del follaje reduciendo la incidencia de
hongos
normalmente la vid no se reproduce con
semilla sino con ellos destaca sobre
hechos obtenidos de la misma planta
la operación ocurre en primavera y sus
frutos se encuentran maduros a finales
del verano y principios de otoño entre
febrero y abril y misteriosos tanto las
hojas como la forma y tamaño de los
racismos difieren entre sí en cada
variedad de uva cabernet malbec etcétera
el racimo de uva posee de dos partes una
línea llamada raspón los granos y hojas
el resto constituido por la piel y
vallejo la pulpa y las semillas los tres
elementos son de suma importancia la
elaboración del vino proceso de
elaboración
[Música]
cuando el agua ha alcanzado su punto de
maduración óptimo es cosechada
generalmente en argentina y el período
de la cosecha se extiende entre febrero
y abril normalmente las variedades
blancas se cosechan antes y las pintas
después la cosecha puede realizarse en
forma anual obreros que cortan en las
morras sino con tijeras especiales o
mecánicas una máquina especialmente
diseñada que penetra por las hileras
removiendo la planta y recogiendo los
granos de vida
[Música]
o tapas en el proceso de la oración en
la elaboración de vinos encontramos
varios proyectos diferentes y la etapa
más importante es la fermentación la
fermentación alcohólica básicamente
durante la fermentación alcohólica el
azúcar de la uva es transformada en
alcohol en la piel vallejo de grano de
uva se encuentran pequeños
microorganismos que pertenecen al grupo
de los hongos y que llamamos vida dura
estas levaduras son responsables de la
transformación del azúcar cuando las
condiciones son las adecuadas las
levaduras comienzan a reproducirse y van
transformando los azúcares en alcohol y
gas carbónico
si bien adheridas a los ojos del grano
de uva vienen las levaduras naturales
llamadas indígenas hoy en bodegas se
agregan capas de levaduras seleccionadas
un laboratorio para asegurar la
fermentación óptima una vez que las
levaduras degradados la totalidad de
azúcares mueren
[Música]
una vez recogidas las uvas se lleva a la
bodega mediante cintas transportadoras
se dirigen a la despalilladora que
vendría a ser el segundo paso esta se
encarga de separar las subas del raspón
palitos y hojas el tercer paso es la
fermentación el proceso con el cual una
sustancia se transforme en otras gracias
a la actividad de microorganismos el
cuarto paso se ha remontado en latín
asia en forma de sombrero es decir todas
las materias sólidas de la uva suben en
la superficie los buenos signo logos
especialistas se me nos vigila la
temperatura y el tiempo de fermentación
con mucho cuidado es un paso muy
importante para tener buenos resultados
el remontado consiste en extraer el
líquido por la parte inferior del
depósito y añadirlo por la parte
superior puede realizarse en el mismo
depósito o intercalar un intermedio con
esta operación se consigue
airear la masa proporcionando un
desarrollo mayor de las levaduras una
mayor actividad fermentativa y un
incremento de temperatura
una mayor a homogenización de toda la
masa un incremento de la maceración la
dispersión de las sustancias extraídas
en el remontado se produce una pérdida
de sulfuro y de alcohol por la
evaporación
el quinto paso es el trasiego y consiste
en separar el vino de las materias
sólidas que se llaman los hijos que se
van depositando durante la fermentación
traspasando el vino de un depósito a
otro dependiendo de no lo tendremos dos
opciones el vino de prensa se prensan
suavemente los hollejos para obtener el
resto de vino que pueda quedar y después
se destinan a fabricar orujos y
alcoholes sangrado se separe el vino de
los ojos cubriéndolo el líquido cae y
los residuos sólo se retienen en el
siguiente paso la fermentación
secundaria se transforma hay ácido
málico en ácido láctico por la acción de
las bacterias lácticas en este proceso
se desprende anhídrido carbónico y
logramos reducir la acidez del vino el
paso 7 es la clarificación y su objetivo
es obtener un vino más limpio y claro se
realiza de dos formas una natural por
segmentación de las partículas en
suspensión y por otras con ayuda
efectuando el colado añadiendo claras de
huevo
o minas o gelatinas el paso 8 es la
filtración y es el proceso que consiste
en separar todas las partículas que
puedan quedar en el vino y por último el
paso 9 es el embotellamiento con el vino
listo lo embotellamos y pasao al mercado
oa la crianza en botella
[Música]
lo siguiente es el transporte y el
almacenamiento las botellas ya
etiquetadas se transportan por medio de
plataformas rodantes al almacén de
productos terminados acaba quedando
listas para su distribución y venta
el sector interno en el comercio de la
vitivinicultura es muy importante ya que
el 75% de la producción va a dicho
mercado el aumento en la participación
que tiene el consumo interno se
manifiesto como consecuencia de la
imposibilidad de poder exportar el
producto en las últimas décadas
adicionalmente el consumo de vino en el
país no es impactado en tiempos de
crisis así como no cae mucho el consumo
en malos momentos tampoco crece de golpe
en los buenos esto se debe a que el 90
por ciento del vino que se eleve es de
bajo precio con lo cual no es afectado
por una disminución en la capacidad
contributiva de los argentinos entre las
provincias que más destinan para el
consumo interno de vinos varietales
malbec mendoza supera ampliamente el
resto al quedarse con más del 78 por
ciento de los despachos vemos entonces
la importancia que tiene esta provincia
y el porqué de la fama de sus finas
[Música]
o sea comercial de la cadena
vitivinícola presenta saldo favorable
dado que las importaciones de vino son
pocos relevantes y el sector exportador
de vinos finos presenta un gran
dinamismo desde los fines de los 90 las
exportaciones se desempeñaron un rol
central para la reestructuración que
tuvo lugar en la actividad vitivinícola
ante la constante reducción de la
demanda interna y el crecimiento y
transformación del mercado externo
mendoza es la provincia más importante
en lo que se refiere a la producción de
vinos argentinos produciendo el 65 por
ciento de la producción nacional y
exportando por valores que representan
aproximadamente el 84 por ciento del
total de los portes exportados sanjuán
rivaliza mendoza es la segunda provincia
a nivel nacional en sudamérica a partir
del 2000 se comenzaron a exportar los
vinos entre ellos japón y china
entre los países con los que exporta
argentina se encuentran eeuu canadá y
reino unido entre los cuales se acumulan
acumulan el 70% del total de las
exportaciones
