There are many different styles of wine, but most wines are either Red or White. A few wines are Rosé (pink colour in between). Red wines are usually red because they have been left to stand on the grapeskin during fermentation. It isn't (usually) because of the colour of the grape - Champagne is made partly from a Red grape (the Pinot Noir).

Wines can also be Sweet or Dry. So you can have Sweet Red, Dry Red, Sweet White, Dry White (but there are very few Sweet Red wines).

Dry Red wines are often further classified into Clarets (light and fruity) and Burgundies (heavy and earthy) - depending on the main grape that they are made from. Claret grapes include the Cabernet Sauvignon, the Merlot and the Malbec. Burgundy grapes include the Shiraz (Syrah), Pinot Noir, and Gamay.
