The peculiarity of Madeira wines from others is that, neutral grape spirits were added to it to prevent the wine from spoiling.Besides that Madeira is noted for its unique wine making process which involves heating the wine upto temperature as high as 60 degree celsius(140 degree farenheit) for an extended period of time and deliberately exposing the wine to some levels of oxidation.This makes it a long lived wine even after being opened.
