Red wine is a type of wine that is made from the fermentation of grapes with a natural pigment called anthocyanin. There are many types of red wine, but all have the same process before being ready for consumption. They start as a grape juice and then ferment to become an alcoholic beverage after contact with yeast. The different types of red wine are determined by where they were cultivated and how they were processed. Red wines usually have a deep purple coloration, which is from anthocyanin, as well as tannins from the skins and seeds of the grapes.

Red wines can be made by using different types of grape varieties, including (but not limited to) Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir. The flavors vary depending on what type of grapes is used to make it. The most important thing for wine drinkers to know is that they should choose a wine depending on what they like in terms of taste and flavor (e.g., fruity or spicy). The grape that creates red wine is called a "red grape." Red grapes are usually dark purple or deep blue in color, which gives the beverage an intense flavor and color.

Common Questions On Red Wines
