Question:

What color is new wine? what kind of wine is pink?


Answers:

I'm not sure about 'new' wine. If you mean freshly made wine then I don't think there is a lot of difference colour-wise than if it has aged for a while.

However here's some info on wine colours:

Obviously, white wine comes from white grapes and red wine from red, but if you press red grapes gently, you get white juice. Some of the most famous Champagne -- considered a white wine -- is made from red grapes and always has been.

The big difference between white and red is that after pressing out the juice, red wine is fermented with its grape skins, and white wine is not. All manner of tannins, pigments, and other compounds are extracted from the skin contact. This is what makes red wine a "bigger" glass of wine than white. There's literally more stuff in the juice.

If you press red grapes normally, you get pink juice. If you just ferment this juice and don't add the skins back in, you get pink wine: around the world, it's called rosato, rosado, rose, gray, gris, pink, and even white, as in white zinfandel.
