The difference between white wine and red wine is mainly reflected in the raw materials, color and taste, brewing technology and food matching.
Different raw materials: white wine is mainly made of white grapes, or red grapes peeled and cored; while red wine is made of red grapes with cores and skins.
Color and taste are different: white wine is white or almost colorless, taste sour, with fresh fruit aroma, such as apples, peaches, etc.; red wine is red, taste astringent, because red grape skin contains a lot of tannins, and red wine smells of mulberry, strawberry and other fragrant fruit aroma.
The brewing process is different: white wine is fermented after removing the peel, and there is no tannin component; Red wine is fermented with skin, and the longer the fermentation time, the more tannin components decompose and the more sour taste.
With different foods: white wine is suitable for white meat or seafood with tender meat and light taste; red wine is suitable for red meat with thicker fleshy fiber and heavier taste.
In addition, the two are also different in alcohol degree, usually the alcohol degree of red wine is between 12%-15%, while the alcohol degree of white wine is generally between 8%-13%. At a suitable temperature for drinking, red wine is usually 10-18 degrees Celsius, while white wine needs to be drunk at a lower temperature, usually between 4-10 degrees Celsius.
