NCCE050 Art of Wine Making
Prerequisite: None
While in this class you will learn the wine making
process starting from juice. The class will begin with a wine tasting, and
some general wine tasting information, then go into the actual wine making
process including adding yeast, racking out, hydrometer reading for
measuring alcohol content, degassing or driving off residual carbon dioxide,
wine additives for ceasing fermentation and clearing agents, filtering, and
bottling. There will be groups of four students working on four batches of
wine. The wines we will be making for this class are a Pinot Grigio, an
off-dry Blush, and 'oakey' Italian Blend, and a Cabernet Franc Dessert Ice
Wine. During the final class we will be bottling the wine and each student
will take home two bottles of each wine made, for a total of eight bottles
of wine. This class is limited to students 21 years and older.
