The main difference between red wine and white wine lies in the different processing methods, and the products produced are divided into red and white. ?
Red wine is made from red or purple grapes and fermented by a mixture of skins and juice. The pigments and tannins in the peel are dissolved in the wine during the fermentation process, so the wine is dark red or red in color. The wine is clear and transparent, has a high sugar content, moderate acidity, sweet taste, slightly sour and astringent, and fragrant aroma.
White wine is made from grapes with red skin and white juice or both skin and juice. The grapes are first squeezed into juice, and then the juice is fermented separately. Since the skin and juice of grapes are separated, and most of the pigments are present in the skin, white wine is light yellow in color, clear and transparent, has higher sugar content than red wine, slightly higher acidity, pure taste, sweet and sour taste, and aroma fragrance.
People with sensitive stomachs may be more suitable to drink red wine. Its total acid content is lower than white wine. Wine contains only a small amount of vitamins and minerals. The more important substances that contribute to health are tannins and pigments.
Phenols play an important role in red wine. It is located within the grape skin, which varies in thickness depending on the grape variety. There are 500 to 4,000 phenolic compounds in red wine, and far fewer in white wine. Phenol inhibits the development of cancer, promotes the immune system, captures free radicals, regulates blood pressure, and lowers cholesterol levels.
