A viticulturist is the producer who knows how to cultivate his vineyard with modern means. The viticulturist is not a winemaker. It works in nature and must adapt to the processes based on climatic conditions. Must have knowledge of agriculture and plant care. His presence in the vineyard is almost daily.

 

Oenologist His professional activities extend to the distillation products of these fermentations for the production of beverages, to the technology of products and by-products of grapes, wine and other raw materials used for the production of alcoholic beverages. Performs analyzes and sampling controls and organizes the management of wineries and distilleries. However, the general control of the wine production process is under the control of the oenologist, with whom the wine and beverage technologist must cooperate.

Stum is a freshly squeezed grape juice that contains peels, seeds, fibers and solids.

Red wine is produced when the must remains in contact with the skins to acquire flavor, color and tannins.

 

White wine is produced when the must does not remain in contact with the skins.

 

Dry wine is produced when the fermentation of wine continues until all sugars are converted to alcohol. This means that the winemaker with similar measurements has predicted the amount of sugar.

 

Sweet wine is produced when the fermentation of wine stops by the winery before all the sugar in the grapes is converted into alcohol. It goes without saying that the winemaker has predicted and measured the amount of sugar in the grapes in order to bring this effect of sweetness and the creation of alcohol to the limits of wine.

 

“Frost” of roga is the matte surface of the roga where there are yeasts on it. These are necessary for the fermentation of the must and act at different temperatures.
