- anfractuosity 9y agoI 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 agoIt'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).
- anfractuosity 9y agoCheers, 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.
- ironic_ali 9y agoUnless 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...
