Red Wine
is a type of wine made from dark-colored grape varieties. The color of the wine can range from intense violet, typical of young wines, through to brick red for mature wines and brown for older red wines. The juice from most purple grapes is greenish-white, the red color coming from anthocyan pigments present in the skin of the grape. Much of the red wine production process involves extraction of color and flavor components from the grape skin.
White Wine
is a wine that is fermented without skin contact. The colour can be straw-yellow, yellow-green, or yellow-gold.[1] It is produced by the alcoholic fermentation of the non-coloured pulp of grapes, which may have a skin of any colour. White wine has existed for at least 4,000 years.
Rose Wine
is a type of wine that is pink or light reddish in color, and is made from a variety of red grapes. The wine gets its color from the skins of the grapes. The flavor of rose wine can vary depending on the grape varieties used and the winemaking techniques employed. However, in general, rose wines are known for their refreshing and light-bodied characteristics, with flavor that range from fruity to floral to herbaceous.
Sparkling Wine
is a wine with significant levels of carbon dioxide in it, making it fizzy. While the phrase commmonly refers to champagne, EU countries legally reserve that term for products exclusively produced in the Champagne region of France. Sparkling wine is usually either white or rose, but there are examples of red wine Cava, Australian sparkling Shiraz, and Azerbaijani "Pearl of Azerbaijan" made from Madrasa grapes. The sweetness of sparkling wine can from very dry brut styles to sweeter doux varieties (French for 'raw' and 'sweet', respectively).
Dessert wine
is a sweet wine that is typically served after a meal as a dessert accompaniment. These wines are often made from grapes that are very ripe and high in sugar content, which concentrates their sweetness. Dessert wines can range in style from light and refreshing, to rich and complex, and they be made from a variety of grape varieties, such as Riesling, Muscat, or Port. Some common types of dessert wine include late harvest, ice wine, botrytized wine (such as Sauternes), and fortified wines like Sherry or Port.
Fortified wine
is a type of wine that has been fortified with additional alcohol, typically a neutral grape spirit such as brandy. This process is known as "fortification" and is used to increase the alcohol content of the wine, as well as to stabilize it and preserve its flavor. Fortified wines are usually higher in alcohol content than regular wines, ranging from around 16% to 20% alcohol by volume. They are also typically sweeter than regular wines.
