The term "young wine" is used differently in common parlance and in EU wine law. Colloquially, it is usually understood to mean a wine that is often still cloudy and has only recently completed its alcoholic fermentation. Clarification may therefore still be required. Preliminary stages are called country-specific - for example Federweißer (Germany) or Sturm (Austria) as well as the still unfiltered wine Staubiger (Austria).

1 = red Sturm, Federroter, Bitzler, Brauser, Sauser; 2 = white Sturm, Federweißer; 3 = red wine, 4 = white wine

There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
