The Wine Story

This is a short pictorial life-cycle of the grapes that finally make their way to our tastebuds via wine bottles.

The cradle – grape vines where they grow


Choice of the fittest – the grapes are hand picked for quality products (the man in the pic is the wine-maker)


Extorting the essence – the chosen grapes are crushed to relieve the juice within


Preparing for the preparation – the juice is kept at precise temperature for a precise duration before they are ready to be transferred to the barrels


Way to perfection – Most of their lifetime is spent in the barrels. They are kept there for years. The winemaker checks the quality from time to time till they are ready.

Expensive captives – Bottled wines. Beware of the cost.


The final frontier – Served to a rejoicing crowd
