1、 What is white wine
White wine is a high-quality wine, usually with a fruity green color, clear and transparent color, a refreshing aroma, a rich aroma, and a deep and long-lasting aftertaste. It contains various vitamins, including dry white wine, half thousand white wine, half sweet white wine, and sweet white wine
2、 What are the differences between Baifu grape wine and Hongfu grape wine
There are various types of wine, and white wine is one of them. Compared to common red wine, there are still significant differences between the two, including
1. The Color of Wine Grapes
The difference between red wine and white wine is that white wine can be made from green skinned, gold skinned, and yellow skinned grapes, and it can also be made from grape juice obtained by peeling red grapes; Red wine can only be brewed from red grape varieties
But in fact, the true grapes are not absolute red or white. The so-called white grapes actually refer to lighter colored grapes, which can be green, yellow green, gold, or light orange in color. Red grape varieties generally refer to red or blue skinned grapes, with a color range between light burgundy and deep indigo blue.
2. Brewing process
There are also subtle differences in the brewing process between red wine and white wine. Although both grapes are pressed, fermented, and then ripened in a machine, the difference is that white wine is mostly made from white grapes and therefore almost without any red pigment. In addition, some white wines, such as champagne, are made from red skinned grapes, but due to the use of peeled fermentation during the brewing process, the liquor of white wine generally appears yellow in varying shades of color. White wine may taste sweet, dry, or somewhere in between.
Red wine is made by fermenting red grape varieties with skins, and the natural pigments contained in the grape skins are extracted during the fermentation process, resulting in a clear red color in the wine liquid.
3. Nutritional value
Both white and red wines contain nutrients such as vitamin B, riboflavin, niacin, acid reflux, and benzoic acid, but the proportion of red wine is higher. Meanwhile, due to the fact that white wine is made from grape juice, the tannin content is relatively low, while red wine is made from the skin, flesh, and juice together, the tannin content is relatively high. Therefore, in general, red wine has a more stable alcohol content and a longer taste period.
4. Drinking temperature
Tasting red wine at 16 to 18 ° C provides a better taste, while white wine is best tasted in a cool state, at 8 to 10 ° C, allowing for a better taste of its flavor.
5. Flavored red wine has an astringency due to its tannin content, which also establishes a "skeleton" for red wine and increases its complexity. Tannins make red wine more aged, as red wine is prone to oxidation and deterioration once exposed to oxygen, and the strong antioxidant properties of tannins can effectively protect the wine from oxidation, thus maintaining its perfect state
In white wine, the tannin content is often very low, with few tannins present. In order to achieve complexity, white wine generally focuses on highlighting its fruity taste and delicious acidity, while it is often chilled when consumed. White wine has no astringency and is relatively light. The most prominent taste characteristics of white wine are fresh acidity and fresh fruit aroma.
3、 Which is better, white wine or red wine
In terms of taste, red wine has a high sugar content, moderate acidity, and a sweet taste with a slight acidity and astringency. White wine has a slightly higher acidity, a pure taste, and a refreshing acidity and sweetness. The flavors can be said to be varied, mainly depending on personal taste preferences, and it is not necessarily which wine is better to drink.
