Are you aware most French / European wines are blends, while NZ/AU and South American are not?

  Most good wine in the world are blends. This is not scotch we are talking about

    I was wondering what blending means with respect to wine. Does blending with wine means >1 grape variety is used, then just pressed and fermented?
    • cycrutchfield 9y ago
      It's complicated, but in the simplest terms it means that more than one grape variety is used. Blends can be co-fermented or fermented separately and blended after the fact (the most common).

        Cheers, that's very interesting! I guess fermenting separately makes a lot of sense, then you get to control the taste by blending the two in different amounts.

    Unless you buy a single cask, all whisky is a blend of at least the casks in a distillery (in this case, single malt). https://www.diffordsguide.com/encyclopedia/1119/bws/how-is-single-malt-scotch-whisky-made https://www.diffordsguide.com/encyclopedia/1119/bws/how-is-s...
