For most fine wines, the wine gets it color from the skins being left in the tank for a certain period of time after they squeeze the juice out. There are some varieties of grapes, for example Concord grapes in the US, that have purple juice. There are also some indigenous varieties in eastern Europe that have purple juice, but this is not the case for the grapes used in Champagne, in this case the red-skinned grapes pinot noir and pinot meunier, and the white-skinned grape chardonnay.
