Winemaking has a long history dating back over 6,000 years to Armenia. The process of making wine involves several steps: grapes are grown and harvested, then crushed to separate the juice from the skins and solids. The juice undergoes fermentation where yeast converts the sugar into alcohol. Next the wine is clarified by removing dead yeast cells and proteins. Finally, the wine is aged in steel vessels or oak barrels and bottled, completing the winemaking process.
