99% of the world’s wines are made from the species of grapevine known as Vitis Vinifera, native to Europe, East and Central Asia. Included in this species are major wine varietals such as Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon.
Q: Is clarity an important trait in a wine?
A: A wine with good clarity is one that isn’t cloudy or hazy. Sediment that has accumulated in the bottom of a bottle or the bottle’s shoulder is a normal occurrence in some older wines, but cloudiness or haziness can be a sign that the wine is flawed.
