Grape Wine

Grape wine is an alcoholic beverage made from fermented grapes. The natural sugars in the grapes are converted into alcohol and carbon dioxide by yeast. It can be made from red or white grapes and comes in various styles, from dry to sweet.

Wine is primarily consumed as a beverage. In food manufacturing, it's used as a flavoring agent, particularly in sauces, marinades, and desserts, to add depth and complexity. It can also be used in some soup bases and cocktail mixes.

Wine contains alcohol, which is a psychoactive substance. Moderate alcohol consumption has been linked to certain health benefits by some studies, but excessive intake is associated with numerous health risks. The U.S. FDA regulates wine as an alcoholic beverage. JECFA has evaluated alcohol and established an acceptable daily intake.
