The latter's looser production laws allow more diversity in the average winery's portfolio, including red and rosé wines.

Transformation of sugars into alcohol under the effect of yeast. These yeasts exist in their natural state in the vineyards and in the cellars. Artificial seeding with selected yeasts is however very often practiced.
