All clay-based soils have the potential to change volume and shift with changes in the amount of moisture in the soil-and are sometimes called 'reactive soils' because of this. The amount that soil is likely to shift defines how 'reactive' it's considered to be.
Fortified Wine. Fortified wines are made from a still wine that has additional alcohol added to it, generally bringing the total alcohol by volume to the 17-20% mark. Popular types of fortified wines include: Port, Sherry, Marsala, and Madeira. Made from both red and white wines, with a sweet scene that runs from dry to semi-dry all the way to full blown sweet, the sweeter versions of fortified wines are popular dessert wines.
Red Wine Type: Cabernet Sauvignon. Black cherry, cassis, and cedar flavor this bold red wine that has a firm texture and plenty of tannins. The wine's smoothness and flavor concentration pairs well with hearty foods, such as grilled or broiled steak, beef tenderloin, and sausage dishes.ed Wine Type: Merlot. This common red wine is popular because of its middle-of-the-road character--soft, fruity, and mild. In Bordeaux, France, the native Merlot grape is usually used to blend into other red wines, such as Cabernet Sauvignon, but on its own it carries a smooth and earthy tone.
