∙ 9y agoNowadays red wine grapes can grow virtually everywhere. In the Western Hemisphere they can grow as far north as Canada down to Texas, and in South America, Chile & Argentina are large producers. Now some of this wine is better than others, but all of these places do in fact grow grapes and make wine.
Roughly speaking if the temperature in the summer exceeds 100 degrees for very long stretches regularly, then it's probably not a good candidate. Also very very cold regions, like northern Canada also don't work because there isn't a good growing season for grapes

White wine is made from "white" grapes, red wine from "red" grapes. As you have noticed, so-called white grapes aren't exactly white.

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.
