Wine is like a special juice for grown-ups. It starts as grape juice. Grapes are those juicy, round fruits you might have in your lunchbox. When people want to make wine, they take these grapes and squish them until they get all the juice out. This juice is then left in a big container for a long time. During this time, tiny things called yeast help turn the juice into wine, making it taste different from the grape juice you drink.
Think of wine as a time traveler. When the grape juice sits in the container, it’s like it’s going on a journey through time. The longer it stays, the more it changes. Just like how you grow and learn new things every day, the grape juice changes its taste and becomes wine. Some wines are kept for many, many years and are seen as very special because of how long they’ve traveled through time.
Wine can also be like a painting. Just like artists use different colors to create a picture, winemakers use different types of grapes to create different flavors. Some wines might taste fruity, like apples or berries, while others might remind you of flowers or even chocolate. Each wine is unique, just like every painting is different.
