| | Fortified wines are made by adding high-strength spirit (usually brandy) to must or to partially fermented wine. | | | Its finest wines are its sherries, produced by fortification, oxidative ageing, and fractional blending in the Jerez area; and the soft red wines of Rioja and Ribera del Duero. | | | Most wine, however, is made by fermenting the juice of fresh grapes alone, and wine as an unqualified term is commonly understood to meet this secondary definition. |
