Valandraud: added geographical info

Wine is an alcoholic beverage made by fermenting grapes or other fruit.

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.

Wine is produced throughout the world. The top twenty leading wine-producing countries in order of total production are:<ref>[http://www.wineinstitute.org/communications/statistics/keyfacts_worldwineproduction02.htm]</ref> [[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]].

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. 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.

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.

== Champagne ==

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 rightly resisted.

Wine is an alcoholic beverage made by fermenting grapes or other fruit. Traditionally grapes were trampled by barefooted vineyard workers to produce a pulp, which was fermented with tannins and sulphides to produce a rich, fruity drink. Today this process in most commercial vineyards is mechanized and soulless. The most notorious exemplar of this modern style is Australia's Yellow Tail, whose iconic kangaroo represents an idolatrous usurpation of the proper place of the ecclesiastical names and imagery common in traditional wine making regions like Pomerol (e.g., L’Evangile, Domaine de l’Eglise, La Croix de Gay).

Most winemaking is centred in the Bordeaux region of North Eastern France.

[[Water]] can be turned into wine only through a [[Miracle]], such as the one Jesus performed. Wine is served in Churches as a representation or transubstantiation of The Body of Christ during the Holy Communion.
