Generally are wines made with flowers of any kind?!


Question: If so is this what gives it a perfume?


Answers: If so is this what gives it a perfume?
Wines made from grapes vary according to the variety of grape and yeasts. The white wines generally having a more discernible flower or maybe citrus "smell" or "nose" without either of these being added.
You can make wines just from flowers - dandelion wine and hawthorn flower wine for example.
wines are usually made of grapes.
Flowers? NEVER...they may add "wood" & "spices" but never flowers.
Elderflower wine is popular. My dad made wine out of every conceivable flower and fruit and it was delicious---and potent!
I have tried wine made from rice,sugar cane,pineapples,apples and certainly grapes.I haven't tried flower wine yet..Would love to try one day.
No.
The 'bouquet' comes from the complex aromas of the wine evolving through ageing.
Some young wines have floral aromas, but it is coincidental.
Most commercial wines are made from grapes. The aromas of flowers in them are a result of the complex aroma chemicals found in grapes.

But there are such things as flower wines, such as dendelion wine. I make a hibiscus wine at home that I enjoy, and get some compliments on. It is just flowers in water, sugar and yeast. The flowers add the aromatics to the solution, the yeast converts the sugar to alcohol.
