Red wine is made by fermentation of grapes with skins; Generally speaking, the longer the soaking time, the darker the color. Young red wines are usually purplish red or ruby red. With the increase of aging time, its color will become lighter, showing garnet red or brick red. In addition, the color of red wine is also influenced by brewing varieties. Some varieties are darker in color, and the brewed wine will be darker in color, such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah.
White wine can be made from white grape varieties and red grape varieties. In the process of brewing white wine, grape skins and grape seeds are removed after pressing and then fermented, thus avoiding extracting pigments and tannins from skins. The color of liquor can be divided into cyan yellow, lemon yellow, golden yellow, amber and brown according to different shades. Generally speaking, wines made by Riesling and Nuo Nuo with gray skin will have a very light lemon yellow color. Different brewing techniques will also affect the color of wine. Take Chardonnay as an example, wines aged in oak barrels will show a deeper golden color. Chardonnay wine that has not been aged in oak barrels is light in color and shows a hint of lemon yellow.
