Wine is classified based on grape variety, production methods, and style. Key categories include:
Red Wine: Made from red or black grapes with their skins, red wines are full-bodied and rich. Varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Pinot Noir offer flavors ranging from blackberry and black cherry to spice. They pair well with red meats.
White Wine: Made from white or red grapes without the skins, white wines are lighter and crisper. Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Riesling offer flavors like citrus, apple, and floral notes.
Rosé Wine: A lighter wine made from red grapes with minimal skin contact, offering a refreshing taste, ideal for summer.
Sparkling Wine: Like Champagne and Prosecco, known for bubbles, often used for celebrations.
Dessert Wine: Sweet wines like Port and Sauternes, typically served after meals. 0 reply
