What's the difference between wine, dry red wine and red wine? Wine is a kind of fruit wine made by grape fermentation. It is the largest and most popular monosaccharide wine in the world.

Red wine is the general term for "wine". In fact, strictly speaking, red wine is not exactly the same as wine, but only a kind of wine. Because wine can be divided into three categories according to color: red wine, white wine and pink wine.
Red wine: The colors of wine liquid are purplish red, ruby red, pomegranate red and so on. And it is fermented with skin;
White wine: the color of wine is lemon yellow or golden yellow, which is brewed by white grape varieties or fermented by red grape varieties without skin;
Pink wine: the color of wine liquid is between red wine and white wine, and the fermentation time with skin is short.
Dry red is the sugar content of red wine, which is divided into four types: dry type, semi-dry type, semi-sweet type and sweet type. Dry type: The sugar content is less than 4g/L, so it can't taste sweet, and it has clean, elegant and harmonious fruit and wine fragrance.
Semi-dry type: sugar content 4 ~ 12g/L, slightly sweet. The wine tastes clean, elegant and mellow, and has a harmonious and pleasant fruit aroma and wine aroma.
