Winemaking
edit"In white wine production, grapes are quickly pressed after crushing to avoid skin contact with pomace as a byproduct of the pressing. The resulting debris is a pale, greenish-brown color and contains more residual sugars than it contains tannins and alcohol. This is the pomace normally used in brandy production."
Are the grapes even fermented at this point? Where does the alcohol come from? 79.138.18.89 (talk) 22:04, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
- The winemaking process and fermentation step (producing alcohol) are explained in this article. With this edit, I tried to clarify the description of pomace resulting from white wine production. Zefr (talk) 23:39, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
