Red Wine

Red wines are a type of alcoholic beverage made from dark-colored grapes. The color of red wine comes from the skins of the grapes, which are left in contact with the juice during the fermentation process. This allows the wine to extract the pigments, tannins, and flavors from the grape skins, resulting in its distinct red color.

Red wines can vary greatly in taste, aroma, and body, depending on the grape variety, winemaking techniques, and aging process. They can range from light and fruity to bold and full-bodied. Common red wine varietals include Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Syrah (also known as Shiraz), and Zinfandel, among others.

The flavors and aromas found in red wines can include notes of dark fruits like blackberries, cherries, and plums, as well as spices, herbs, and sometimes even earthy or floral undertones. Red wines also often have a moderate to high level of tannins, which provide structure and a drying sensation in the mouth.
