WINE RED VS. WHITE WINE

/>

Wine Red Vs. White

The red and white wine generally has to do with the type of grape, or varietal, used to make the wine. After all, wine is the fermented juice of fresh grapes, so the grapes themselves have a lot to do with the taste and color of the resulting wine. Both red and white wine grapes are white on the inside, but red wines often incorporate more of the grape skins, seeds and stems.
