Question 3

White Wine (Definition)

Answer 3

White wines are wines made by fermenting only the grape juice, all skins and seeds are separated immediately after crushing the grapes.

Technically, any grapes can be made into white wines, however that might not always produce the best flavors.

Chardonnay is king of whites.

Question 4

Red Wine (Definition)

Answer 4

The process of making red wines is similar to white wines, except both seeds and skins are left in the juice during fermentation.

Red wine get all of their red or purple color from the skin of the grapes. In addition to color, they also impart other flavors and texture to the wine, noticeably their tannins.

Grape with thinner skin produce rather lighter red, in both color and structure (Pinot Noir, Garnache).

Thick Skin Grapes deliver more robust, bold, fuller body (Cab Sauv, Syrah, Tempranillo, Petite Sirah)
