Red Wine

Red wine is made from black grapes that are fermented with the skin and pips. Styles range from light and refreshing to sweet and fortified.

White Wine

Surprisingly, white wine can be made from either white or black grapes, as all grape juice is initially colorless. White wine styles vary from bone dry to golden sweet. For something a little tangier, the zesty Sauvignon Blanc grape is a reliable choice.

Other Types of Wine: Sparkling Wines, Champagnes, Rosés and Blushes

Champagne has long been a popular form of wine. In fact, it stands in a category of its own due to the unique process through which it is produced. When winemakers produce sparkling wines, they add a yeast and sugar solution to dry table wine. The wine is then sealed for secondary fermentation. Genuine Champagne has to be the perfect example of sparkling wine.

Rosé wine is produced from black grapes without the stalks. The juice is separated off as soon as it is sufficiently pink. Styles vary enormously. Some of the best rosés are produced from the Grenache grape and are deliciously fragrant and refreshing.

Blush wine originated in California. Here, the skins of the black grapes are left to briefly macerate with the must. The result is a delightful pinkish-blue colored wine with a coppery hue. Californian blush is produced predominantly from the Zinfandel grape.
