Some varieties of grapes, often known as table grapes, are grown to eat as unprocessed fruit. These types are sometimes sun-dried to make raisins. Other varieties of grapes, often known as wine grapes, are grown to serve as the raw material for making wine. These types have thicker skin and much more sugar than table grapes. Sugar is sometimes extracted from grape juice, but this is uncommon, as there are several more efficient sources, sugar cane and sugar beets being two.
Pectic Enzyme is added to wine as a clarifier to help eliminate pectin hazes that are caused by fruit (fiber) solids. It is also add by some (commercial and home) wine makers to the crush of the fruit to extract more fermentable juice from the fruit.
The ideal balance of sweetness and dryness in a red wine that I enjoy is when the wine has a hint of sweetness to enhance the fruit flavors, but is mostly dry to provide a crisp and refreshing finish.
