Now try to think of a dish that contains all of â¦ the groups: grain product, vegetables and fruits, milk and alternatives, and meat and alternatives. A pizza is an example of a mixed dish. It can have all four food groups!
For wine, the sugar comes from grapes. The riper the grape, the more sugar in the fruit there is to convert to alcohol. Sometimes when grapes are not as ripe as winemakers would like, they add cane or beet sugar before fermentation is complete to achieve a higher amount of alcohol, a process called chaptalization.
The subjective sweetness of a wine is determined by the interaction of several factors, including the amount of sugar in the wine, but also the relative levels of alcohol, acids, and tannins.Briefly: sugars and alcohol enhance a wine's sweetness; acids (sourness) and bitter tannins counteract it. sweet wine such as a Vouvray can actually taste dry due to the high level of acidity. A dry wine can taste sweet if the alcohol level is elevated. Medium and sweet wines have a perception among many consumers of being of lower quality than dry wines.
