Taste the Tannins
There's a small difference in red and white, and that is known as tannins. Not only does this adjust the flavor of the wine, but also the color and characteristics. Red wine generally contains more tannins than white, which is what causes some of these difference.Red Wine
You can get red wine, basically from fermenting grape juice. It will often contain the pieces of grapes and even their skin. Because of that, the tannins from the skin stems, and even seeds seep out into the wine which is what can cause the coloring.White Wine
While you may have assumed that white wine is made from green grapes and red wine is made from red and black grapes, this isn't always the case. White wine is accomplished because the skins, seeds, and stems are not included in the pressing process, thus keeping fewer tannins in the white wine - making it white.Is There A Difference In Alcohol Content?
In many cases, you will find that the alcohol content in red wine is higher than white. This is caused by the amount of sugar present in the in the wine during the fermentation process. More sugar equalsmore alcohol. Generally, the grapes that make a red wine not only have a higher sugar content, but they are allowed to stay on the vine longer than white wine grapes - allowing for a riper grape.
Is There a Body Difference?
No, we're not talking about the way they affect YOUR body, just the body of the wine. You will find that red wines generally have more body, or mouthfeel, because they have higher levels of tannins, high alcohol content, and the process they are fermented is different.Red Wine at Seven Springs Winery
