Red Wine
While juice from black grapes is actually greenish-white, red wine gets its color from the pigments in the grape skin. As the wine ages, it loses its color. The antioxidants and resveratrol in red wine are also thought to have major health benefits.

There are many things you should look for when tasting wine: In a nutshell, first, the color, once poured into the wine glass. A rich red that stains the glass when the wine is swirled lightly indicates a full-bodied wine, for example. The same goes for a white wine. Chardonnays that are deep yellow let's say, tend to be more full-bodied or stronger in flavor than those that are lighter in color. Next is the bouquet or aroma. Most wines include more ingredients than just grapes and alcohol. Some wines have a fruity scent; in others, one can smell a hint of oak, if they were aged in oak wood barrels. Some wines are flavored with or have notes of berries or herbs. Wine connoiseurs are able to distinguish and classify the wine's components. They might say that the Cabernet in question is full-bodied and rich in ruby hues, has a deep blackberry bouquet with notes of peach and a hint of licorice or vanilla (in this respect the components of a wine can be similar to those of a perfume!) Some people smell the cork of a freshly opened bottle of wine as a sign that they are experts in wine tasting; it's a pompous ceremonial, has little if nothing to do with the wine itself and is only intended to impress those who do not know! However, you should check the cork to assure that it is not dry or moldy, which is not a very good sign, for the cork could have chipped of and fallen into the wine (that is why bottled wine should be stored in a horizontal or tilted downward position to prevent this from occurring). Recent trends are that many wineries here and in Europe are using plastic corks more and more. The aroma is confirmed by the taste. Each wine should be served/consumed at its proper temperature. This is very important! Many people believe that one should drink red wine at room temperature. While this may be a question of taste/preference, the truth is that room temperature referred to the temperature of the cave or cellar where the wine was stored, not the room temperature of your kitchen or dining room! That is why your typical red wines should be served at 50 degrees Farengheit; the whites, between 35 and 40 degrees, depending: bubblies at 32. (I chill my reds in the fridge and remove about 15 mins. before uncorking/serving). When strictly tasting wine, the liquid must be sifted in between the teeth (yes, it's ok to make a rude noise!), gently swirled inside the cheek, and spit out immediately. The palate should indicate the temperature of the wine, the strength, acidic content, and texture: is it smooth or does it bite the lips, tounge, palate or throat upon contact? Is it a fruity or dry wine? Are the peach notes overwhelming or complimentary? Does it have an aftertaste? One should cleanse the palate between wines with water. Older wines are expected to have a certain degree of sediment;this is visible in the wine glass and does not influence the wine significantly. Remember, wines are made to be sipped, not guzzled or chugged. They can turn into vinegar if stored improperly or for too long after opening. Lastly, they say that the best wine is the one YOU like. While some people prefer lighter tasting wines like the Pinots, Chablis or Reislings in the whites and the Merlots, Tempranillos, and Beaujolais in the reds, others fancy heartier ones, such as oak aged Chardonnays in the whites and full-bodied Syrahs in the reds. One thing for sure, nowadays in the U.S. there are many wines for many budgets. You do not have to spend a bundle to get a decent bottle of wine. So experiment and see what you like. When I go wine tasting, I enjoy eating something that goes with that wine to fully appreciate it. Most vintners should know what wine goes with what. What you will be serving the wine with should be paramount in your wine purchase decision. Most wines, although lower in alcohol, can still make you drunk, so moderation is always important to be able to really enjoy a nice glass of wine. Hope this information has been helpful. Cheers!

Which varieties of red wine contain the highest levels of resveratrol?
Resveratrol is a red pigment found in the skins of red and purple grapes, but not green grapes. Red wines have resveratrol, rose wines have some, but not much, and white wines have no resveratrol.

How much sugar is in white wine?
denerara sugar is used to make white wine
Theoretically there should be enough natural sugar in the fruit, so that it isn't necessary to add sugar during wine making. White wine can have a range of sugar levels and it all depends on the winemaker. Some can be dry (ie 0-2g per litre of sugar) right up to 'many' grams per litre for some desert wines.
the sugar content is the not fermented suger ... looking at the alc percentage would guide you some,,, a normal dry white wine would contain about 12-13 % a sweet wine would typically contain 7-8 % medium dry 9-10 % Half of the suger that is fermented will result in Etanol and half Carbon Dioxid
the suger in a 70cl bottle started with around 150-160 gram suger every percentage below let say 12 % represent about 12-14 gram of suger a medium sweet white wine therefor contain aprox 30-50 gram suger regardless how dry or sweet the wine is .. you will suffer from aprox 600 KCal energy
if wine is sweet more carb and no good from GI perspective.
if dry less carb same calories but better from GI perspective... Peter the Viking

How long do you let old wine breathe?
Letting red wine breathe....really doesn't have that much of an effect on the taste of wine. The practice of letting a bottle of wine breathe comes from way back in the day when sulfur was used in the bottles (I don't know why but whatever). When the bottle would first be opened, it would smell like sulfur....so they let it sit open and the rotten egg smell would be removed.
Today however, it really isn't needed. Also, the shape of the bottle lets very little air get to the wine itself and you would be better off just pouring it in a glass to sit while you eat.

Can I Substitute white wine for red wine?
The rule of thumb never applies, it all depends on pairing of foods. AKA will you be having tapas or appetizers before hand.

Great question!
