It's more of a religious tradition coming fromm biblical times, as an example from when Jesus turned water into red wine at a wedding. Now we recommend to the bride to drink white wine so she doesn't stain her dress just in case it spills.

Name the steps in Jewish weddings?
Following are the steps at a Jewish wedding according to the customs of Ashkenazic Jewry (European). Sfaradi and Teimani customs may differ slightly: 1. Badecken (Yiddish - covering) - The groom, who is in a different room than the bride, is escorted to the bride who is sitting on a nice chair surrounded by her friends and family. The groom covers the brides face with a veil. The groom is then escorted to the Chupah (wedding canopy). 2. Ash is place on the grooms forehead. It is also customary to untie his shoes. 3. The bride is escorted to the Chupah. She walks around the groom with her mother and mother-in-law seven times and then stands to the right of the groom. It is customary for the bride to wear no jewelry. 3. The wedding officiator holds a cup of wine and says the blessing for wine followed by the special blessing said before marriages. He gives cup to the groom to drink and then to the bride to drink. In German communities it is customary for the groom to recite the shechi'anu blessing and to don a tallis. 4. Two witnesses are designated to view the marriage. Then the groom says to the bride (in Hebrew), "You are bewedded to me with this ring according to the religion of Moses and Israel." He then places the ring on the brides right forefinger. 5. The Ketubah (marriage contract) is read. 6. Seven blessings are said. Each person who says a blessing holds a cup of wine. After the blessings, the groom and bride drink from the cup. 7. The groom stamps on a glass cup symbolizing the destruction of Jerusalem. By some it is customary that the groom say the verse, "If I forget you Jerusalem, etc." before breaking the glass. That's it! :)
