You can make white wine out of red grapes but you can't make red wine out of white grapes
Not only white grapes. Remember, you can make white wine from red grapes, but not red wine from white grapes.
Not all wine is red. There are also types of white wine and rose wine. But, red wine is red because of the reddish color of the grapes it is made out of.
Wine is often red because it is often made from red grapes, and the coloring of the grapes appears in the wine.
Any white wine can be made from red grapes.
The juice of both red and white grapes is rather clear. Red wine is made by letting the juice remain for a period of time with the crushed red grape skins, thus imparting red color to the juice. So red wine can be made from red grapes, but white wine can be made from either red or white grapes. The red grapes that are put into it.
No, but white wine can be made from red grapes if the extracted juice is not kept in contact with the red skins.
A basic answer from my home brew days is: Black grapes produce a deep red wine, the colour coming from the skins of the grapes. A second fermentation on the grapes that had produced the original red wine, will produce a lighter coloured wine classed as rosé.
White wine is made from "white" grapes, red wine from "red" grapes. As you have noticed, so-called white grapes aren't exactly white. They vary from green to grayish. while "red" grapes can be from red, to almost black. Blush wines, or rosé, are made by removing the grapes skins shortly into the fermentation process. The grapes are crushed, as in normal wine-making, but then the skins are filtered out after a couple of days. Much of a wine's color comes from the skins of the grapes.
Normally Red wine is made with red grapes, and White wine with white (greenish) grapes. Red wine get its color from the red skin being in the mix that get squeezed (with seeds and all), and left weeks fermenting. White wine is fermented without the skin and seeds (these are filtered out before starting the fermentation process). It is, though, possible to make white wine out of red grapes by removing the red skin prior to fermenting. This type of wine is called 'blanc de noirs' (white from black).
answer 1: The colour in the wine is from soaking the skins of grapes in the juice during fermentation. It is not from the grapes, they are colourless. I suppose the colour is what makes it stain. answer 2: Spillling red wine on your shirt makes a red wine stain.. ^_^
red wine obtains its color from the type of grapes selected to produce it.
