What is difference between red & white wine?
Answers:
Red wines are usually "designed" with a more robust, stronger and tannic flavor. While this is not always true, it is a good general rule. Certain grape types are also usually associated with red wines, such as cabernet Sav., merlot, syrah, pinor noir. The red coloring comes from crushing the grapes, and then letting the skins, seeds, etc, sit in the squeezed grape juice for a while. In addition to giving the juice color, it gives it nuances and tannins, which helps the wine age. Red wines are then usually stored in wooden casks, which imparts additional flavor from the wood.
Whites can also go through the same process, although most do not have as much exposure to the crushed skins. Many whites, esp. cheaper wines, are also not fermented in oak barrels, and moved to market faster. As a result, the wine is lower in alchohol and less nuanced in style. Most whites are served chilled, but don't serve it too cold, or the flavors will be masked.
You can make white wines with red skinned grapes, crush, get juice, no exposure to skin, but cannot make red wine with white grapes.
Red wine is made with red grapes and white wine is made with white grapes!
The difference in the colors is due to the color of the skin on the grapes that the wine is made with.
color of grapes
I think it's the color. One is a different color.
one is red the other is white/yellow
Different "varietals" of grapes are used for making red and white wines. (For example, chardonnay, sauvignon blanc, and chenin blanc grapes for white wine; pinot noir and merlot grapes for red wine.) Also, red wines are made with grapes that are crushed with the skins left on. White wines have the skins removed during crushing. Red wines tend to be more robust in flavor, which is why they are usually drunk with red meat. White wines are lighter in flavor and are best with fish, poultry and veal.
What everyone else has said so far, including the fact the white wines should be served chilled and reds at approximately room temperature. Flavor is another huge difference, reds tend to be more bitter, while whites tend to be sweet (only in comparison to reds, not to anything REALLY sweet, like soda pop for example.)
Personally, red wines make my face turn red, and white wines give me heart burn.
Believe it or not, both red and white wines can be made with red grapes! The difference between them, and the reason reds have more tannin and taste more bitter, is that the grape skins are left in when making red wines, so giving it a red/purple colour. How long the skins are left in the mixture determines how dark the wine will be, although the kind of barrels it is aged in also have an effect.
The colour,what do you think
Reds are made with black grapes (no, they're not really black, that's just what they're called) and white with white grapes. Once pressed, the skin sits with the juice of the black berries, and that is what imparts the color. When the zin market bottomed back in I think the late 70's, or it may have been in the early 80's, and white wine was "in," one guy out in California got rid of his zin by making "white zinfandel" by taking the skins out before they colored the juice, and other black-to-whites, usually marketed as "blush," have become popular to some degree, though I've never quite understood why.
The skin and stems of the black grapes, by the way, are also the source of most of the tannin in red wines.
