CHAPTER 10

WINEMAKING OF OTHER CATEGORY WINES

The OIV (International Organization of Vine and Wine) uses the term “special” to designate all wines outside the orthodoxy of still wines: sherries, fortified wines, sparkling wines and sweet wines. This chapter goes into detail about them, their elaboration, their styles and their taste.

Furthermore, although the classification of the OIV is sufficiently generic to include the majority of special elaborations, we propose a new way of classifying this very heterogeneous category in order to avoid the confusion often generated by some special wines. We test our classification with such famous and distinctive wines as sherry, port, madeira, champagne, cava and rancio wines.
