Czech wine of these festivals in Znojmo, Mikulov, Brno and Mělník will feature samples of hundreds of local wines as well as local music, dancing and cuisine. These wine-festivals take place in big towns apart from the wine-producing areas as well (such as Prague). Czech wine law classifies wine according to the origin of the grapes and the ripeness of the grapes determined by measuring the must weight in the grape juice at the time of harvest. Sugar content is expressed in units of °NM on the Czecho-Slovak Normalised Must-Weight Scale (Czech: "Normalizovaný moštoměr"), which indicates how many kilograms of sugar are
Phenolic content in wine . Low molecular weight polyphenols, as well as elagitannins, are susceptible to be extracted from cork stoppers into the wine. The identified polyphenols are gallic, protocatechuic, vanillic, caffeic, ferulic, and ellagic acids; protocatechuic, vanillic, coniferyl, and sinapic aldehydes; the coumarins aesculetin and scopoletin; the ellagitannins are roburins A and E, grandinin, vescalagin and castalagin. Guaiacol is one of the molecules responsible for the cork taint wine fault. Flash release is a technique used in wine pressing. The technique allows for a better extraction of phenolic compounds. The exposure of wine to oxygen in limited quantities affects phenolic content. Depending on
