Depends would be my best answer. What do you call a 'kind'? Wines could be categorized by country/region of origin, type of grape, year, taste, etc. Combined, there are hundreds if not thousands of labels available for sale.
The different types of red wines are called varietals. The most common red varietals wines that you will find in the United States are Cabernet Sauvignon (and blends), Merlot, Pinot Noir, Syrah, and Zinfandel.
To just name the types would not mean anything to you. To acquire an understanding of the types , you first need to know something about wines in general. Thus read the below, and click on the link for starters.

Red wines and white wines are very popular in their own ways to many different people, recent polls show that red wine is drank on more occasion then white whine making it more popular.
Consumers tend to prefer red over white wines.
Red wines usually contain more natural preservatives, such as tannin, than whites. This makes them more age-worthy. Tannins exist in the skins and stems of grapes, and red wines spend more time in contact with skins and stems than whites do. Wines can also be imbued with tannin if they are matured or conditioned in oak casks or barrels.
Color is the first and easiest distinguishing feature of wine. The main difference between red and white wine is that grape juice used to make red wine contains skins, seeds and stems. As a general rule of thumb, red wines are thicker and more complex than white wine. White wines are usually a good place for beginners to start because they are initially more palatable to novices since they often tend to be sweeter. the primary difference between red and white wines comes are tannins. Found mainly in red wines, they provide a dry, puckery sensation in the mouth and in the back of the throat. They also help preserve wine, allowing most (but not all) red wines to be aged longer than white wines.
No, not necessarily. The primary (though not only) factor in determining the calorie content of wine is the alcohol content. Higher alcohol wines are in most cases higher calorie wines.
Some wines last longer than others, so yes, there are types of wines best consumed sooner than later. Generally speaking white and fruit wines have a shorter lifespan, while reds (properly stored) last much longer.

Fortified wines are fortified with additional alcohol. Therefore, they contain more alcohol than do unfortified wines.
False. White horses are quite rare and their care (due to the fact that they have pink skin) is much more involved than is the care of a horse with dark skin. Black horses have always been popular and there are many more of them.
Yes. Actually there is often more than in other wines.

My top choice for a white wine is a chardonnay from the napa Valley in Callifornia. I'm more of a white wine drinker than red, but a cabernet savignon from Callifornia is a very nice, easy drinking red wine.
Usually not. More likely than not they are bone dry and not fortified.
