Wine (from Latin vinum) is an alcoholic beverage made from fermented grapes.

These grapes are generally Vitis vinifera, or a hybrid with Vitis labrusca or Vitis rupestris.

Grapes are fermented without the addition of sugars, acids, enzymes, water, or other nutrients.

Yeast consumes the sugar in the grapes and converts it to ethanol and carbon dioxide.

Different varieties of grapes and strains of yeasts produce different styles of wine.

These variations result from the complex interactions between the biochemical development of the grape, the reactions involved in fermentation, the terroir, and the production process.

Many countries enact legal appellations intended to define styles and qualities of wine.

These typically restrict the geographical origin and permitted varieties of grapes, as well as other aspects of wine production.

Chocolate is a typically sweet, usually brown food preparation of Theobroma cacao seeds, roasted and ground.

It is made in the form of a liquid, paste, or in a block, or used as a flavoring ingredient in other foods.

Cacao has been cultivated by many cultures for at least three millennia in Mesoamerica.

The earliest evidence of use traces to the Mokaya (Mexico and Guatemala), with evidence of chocolate beverages dating back to 1900 BCE.

In fact, the majority of Mesoamerican people made chocolate beverages, including the Maya and Aztecs, who made it into a beverage known as xocolātl, a Nahuatl word meaning "bitter water".

The seeds of the cacao tree have an intense bitter taste and must be fermented to develop the flavor.

In botany, a fruit is the seed-bearing structure in flowering plants (also known as angiosperms) formed from the ovary after flowering.
