The main steps are:

f - Storage
Initially, the grapes are harvested and quickly forwarded to Cuvier to prevent its alteration. It follows, then, a series of operations that will transform the grape and its juice into wine: the wine, which will culminate in the fermentation process, its main phase.
Fermentation is a natural phenomenon during which the sugar content in the grapes will turn into alcohol under the action of micro-organisms: yeast. At the same time, there is a number of other chemical reactions (low acidity, color and dissolution of tannins, etc.).
At the end of the fermentation process, the grape is fully transformed into wine.
