WINE SECTIONS

Wines may be made from concentrates, juice and/or fresh grapes. Single variety wines must contain 100% of the grape variety named. Blended wines must be identified as to the percentage of each variety in the blend and may contain no more than 75% of a dominant grape or fruit variety.

NOTE: Sections 1 -8 in Wine may be made from a kit or at a Brewing Store. Name of store should not be shown.

Red Table Wine: Red Table Wines are dry with an alcohol content of 10% to 13% and are to be drunk with richly flavoured foods. Colour range is from light red through ruby and garnet. Red- purple edges denote a young wine. Brown tinges denote an older, possibly oxidized or faulty wine.

White Table Wine: White Table Wines are dry with an alcohol content of 9% to 11% and are to be drunk with lighter flavoured foods. The colour ranges from clear to straw and golden.

Greenish tinges indicate youth. Brown tinges indicate aging or faults. Sweetness may be perceived (as in German styles) but the sugar should not be noticeable before the fruity character of the wine. The wine should not be sparkling.

Rosé Table Wine: Rosé has an alcohol content of 9% to 12% and are delicate in flavour with a clean refreshing aftertaste. Colour ranges from pale pink, orange and very pale red. Rosé wines lack the acidity of white wines and the complexity and dryness of reds. No more than 1% residual sugar is allowed.

Country Wine: Wines in this class must be made from 95% NON-GRAPE fruits. Herb wines are not acceptable but flower and sap wines are allowed. A range of colours is permitted.

Alcohol content is 9% to 12% and sweetness range (from dry to sweet) must be in character with the wine. Typical examples include blueberry, strawberry, peach, cherry, apple (not cider or apple jack), and birch sap.

Sweet Wine:

Aperitif - A slightly sweet, fortified wine, meant to be drunk as an appetizer before dinner. Dessert - Accompanies dessert course and blends nicely with pastries, fruits and other such sweet dishes.

After-Dinner - These are sweet, fortified and are popular after dinner.

LIQUEUR SECTIONS:

Liqueurs are typically quite sweet; they are usually not aged for long after the ingredients are mixed, but may have resting periods during their production to allow flavours to marry.

Homemade Fruit Liqueur: made from a distilled spirit that has been flavoured with fruit and bottled with added sugar or other sweetener. The type of distilled spirit and of fruit used in the making of the entered liqueur should be identified on the bottle or on the entry tag.

Homemade Non-Fruit Liqueur: made from a distilled spirit that has been flavoured with cream, herbs, spices, flowers or nuts and bottled with added sugar or other sweetener. The type of distilled spirit and of flavouring used in the making of the entered liqueur should be identified on the bottle or on the entry tag.

BEER SECTIONS:

Natural and artificial carbonation is acceptable. Artificially carbonated beer should be clear.

NOTE: Sections 12 - 13 in Beer may be made from a kit or at a Brewing Store. Name of store should not be shown.
