Still wine is a term used to describe a type of wine that is not effervescent or sparkling. Unlike sparkling wines, which contain dissolved carbon dioxide that creates bubbles, still wines are relatively calm in terms of carbonation, allowing the natural flavors and aromas of the grape juice to take center stage.

The production of still wine involves the fermentation of grape juice, where the sugars in the grapes are converted into alcohol by yeast. Following fermentation, the wine may undergo processes such as aging, blending, and filtering before being bottled. Still wines can be made in various styles, ranging from dry to sweet, and they can be red, white, or rosé, depending on the grape varieties used and the winemaking techniques applied.

The term "still" is used to distinguish these wines from sparkling or effervescent varieties, such as Champagne or Prosecco. Still wines are the most common and traditional form of wine, representing the majority of wines produced globally. They are enjoyed for their diverse flavors, aromas, and the ability to complement a wide range of cuisines.
