About Wine
Wine is one of the oldest and most celebrated alcoholic beverages on earth. Scholars believe the first wines were made in the Middle East sometime around 8,000 BCE, and introduced to Europe around 4,500 BCE. Wine usually made from the fermented juice of grapes. Different styles of wine are created from different varieties of grapes and yeasts. Not every wine is made from grapes, it can also be made from other fruits like apples and berries. Wines made from starches like malted barley and rice (barley wine and sake respectively) are more named for the high alcohol content rather than the process.
About Sugar
Sugar is a natural sweetener. The white crystalline stuff we typically find in restaurants and in the sugar jar at home is processed and refined. Sugar from the Sugar Cane plant is typically brown in color and has more of a caramel flavor.
