What does Penang in wine mean?

There is no special wine called Penang.

But there are two similar names, one is ice wine and the other is champagne.

Ice wine: According to the definition of the national standard "Ice wine" (GB/T 25504-20 10), ice wine refers to delaying the grape harvest. When the temperature is lower than -7℃ under natural conditions, the grapes are kept on the branches for a certain period of time, frozen, harvested, squeezed and fermented in the frozen state (in production,

Ice wine is found in some areas, such as Germany, Canada, Austria and Alsace, France. Because of the high latitude, winter comes early and is very cold. The grapes are ripe, and it is already very cold. At this time, they will not pick grapes and continue to hang them on the branches. Because of the cold weather, they are not afraid of grape rot or diseases and pests. Grapes hanging on vines in this way are basically below MINUS 7 degrees because of the cold weather, and some can reach nearly MINUS 20 degrees. At this time, the water in the grapes will be naturally extracted and an ice layer will be formed outside the grapes. Grapes will gradually become raisins, because the water inside is extracted and the concentration of residual substances in grapes is high. After a period of time, the grapes are harvested again, and then the temperature is kept below MINUS 7 degrees, so that the concentration of squeezed grape juice will be much higher, which is basically more than three times that of freshly picked grape juice. Therefore, the sugar content of this wine is very high, and the ice wine itself is guaranteed for the sweetness of the wine. In the brewing method, sugar is kept as much as possible by giving up alcohol content, so all wines are very sweet, and the basic sweetness can reach above 200 g/L. 。

In addition, because white grapes are more resistant to low temperature than red grapes, white grapes can be planted in such a cold place, so the ice wine that can be seen is basically made of white grapes.

Champagne: transliteration of champagne in French. Sparkling white wine rich in carbon dioxide. Originated from French champagne, hence the name. Bottled liquor, added with yeast and sugar, kept at low temperature (8 ~ 12? C) then fermenting. The alcohol content is 12% ~ 15%.

Champagne is a kind of sparkling wine, which is produced all over the world, but only in champagne producing areas can sparkling wine brewed according to the AOC rules of its producing areas be called champagne. But because the name champagne is so famous, champagne has become synonymous with sparkling wine in many cases, and many people mistakenly think that sparkling wine is champagne. In order to protect champagne, champagne producing areas can only be used on wines certified in their producing areas. In fact, they have filed lawsuits against many producing areas and wineries that abused their marks. There are three legal grape varieties: Champagne, Chardonnay, Black Pi Nuo and maunier in Pi Nuo. Champagne is mostly dry sparkling wine.
