 | | For example, a label might indicate the wine was barrel-fermented, a process thought to imbue a wine with rich, creamy flavors, delicate oak characteristics, and better aging capabilities. |
 | | The label information regarding the type of wine is very general, usually in the form of basic terms like "red table wine," "dry red wine," "white wine," "still white wine," or "sparkling wine." Such terms simply place the wine in a generic category. |
 | | The year indicated on a wine label is the vintage, or the year the grapes were harvested. |
