<p>Nmartin: added link to pinot noir article</p> <hr /> <div>Wine is an alcoholic beverage made by fermenting grapes or other fruit. <br /> <br /> Traditionally grapes were trampled by barefooted vineyard workers to produce a pulp, which was fermented with tannins and sulfides to produce a rich, fruity drink. Today this process in most commercial vineyards is mechanized.<br /> <br /> Wine is produced throughout the world. The top twenty leading wine-producing countries in order of total production are:&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.wineinstitute.org/communications/statistics/keyfacts_worldwineproduction02.htm]&lt;/ref&gt; [[France]], [[Italy]], [[Spain]], [[United States of America|USA]], [[Argentina]], [[China]], [[Australia]], [[Germany]], [[Portugal]], [[South Africa]], [[Chile]], [[Hungary]], [[Romania]], [[Greece]], [[Russia]], [[Brazil]], [[Austria]], [[Bulgaria]], and [[Croatia]]. <br /> <br /> Many of the best-known vineyards are in France but recent competitions place California wine, particularly the vivid reds from the San Bernardino Valley, above French wine in quality{{cite needed}}. Most winemaking is centred in the Languedoc region of Southern [[France]] and La Mancha in [[Spain]]. Kentish [[Pinot Noir]] and Welsh Riesling are also world-renowned wines.<br /> <br /> Wine is served in Churches as a representation or transubstantiation of The Body of Christ during the Holy Communion and many of the wineries in the Americas were founded by Christian Religious Orders.<br /> <br /> == Champagne ==<br /> <br /> Sparkling Wine, generally known as [[Champagne]] is produced not only in the Champagne region of North Eastern France but also in California, England, Australia, New Zealand and Inda. The French have attempted to retain the right to the term Champagne for wines from the Champagne region only but The US authorities have resisted.</div>
