Does it take longer to make red wine or to make white wine?
The fermentation stage of white wine takes longer, from 2 to 3 weeks, whereas red wine needs only 4 to 10 days. Maturation of red wines takes much longer however, except for young red wines such as Beaujolais nouveau (new), so most white wine is ready for consumption before red wine.Red wine also requires more or longer stages, such as clarification.Most white wines are made from green grapes, and are frequently called blanc de blanc (white of white,) especially for sparkling wines, as opposed to the white wine that is made from red grapes, such as Champagne and some other white wines.The trick for such wines is to press the whole grapes, but immediately filter out the grape juice from the skins, the seeds and the woody parts.As a result, the only tannin present in white wine comes from the maturation phase in the oak barrels, not from the grapes themselves, and the lesser tannin content means that white wine will not keep as long as red wine.The only exception is sweet white wines such as Sauternes, for which the sugar acts as a preserving agent.The color of white wine does not come so much from aging as from how much the grapes were exposed to air during pressing. The more oxygen in the juice, the yellower the wine.
