How much information do you need? Here's a general overview -

Wine is produced by fermenting crushed grapes using various types of yeast (bacteria) which consume the sugars found in the grapes and convert them into alcohol. Various varieties of grapes and strains of yeasts are used depending on the types of wine produced.

And here's the longer version from Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wine

Hope that helps,
