Before alcoholic fermentation is complete, the fermentation process is deliberately stopped for certain types of beverage, for example by cooling (see " Stopping"). These products are then marketed in this state, examples are Federweißer (Germany) or Sturm (Austria). See also Cider (beverage types) and Winemaking (wine types).
As honorary chairman of the Domäne Wachau, it is the easiest and quickest way for me to access the wein.plus encyclopaedia when I have questions. The certainty of receiving well-founded and up-to-date information here makes it an indispensable guide.
