Want to learn more about how wine is made? Check out “Grapes in the Glass: Wine: Know-how, Fun and Responsibility” by enologist Teresa Severini, one of the first women winemakers in Italy. The book is written and illustrated for both adults and children. Severini tells the story of how wine is made as the enologist on a class fieldtrip with her son, Francesco. The students become winemaking apprentices for a day, as Francesco’s “mum” takes them on a tour of the winemaking process from vine to bottle. In the process, she shares some wine history and explains terms such as polyphenols and tannins, as well as carbonic maceration, which is used to make Novello wine, a lively, young red wine released in November, similar to the Nouveau Beaujolais of France. The characteristics of the wine go well with “dishes having delicate flavors.” Severini also reminds children that when they are old enough to drink wine they should remember the importance of recognizing wine as something to be appreciated, respected and consumed “with the right balance.”
