Red Wine
Red wine is more robust, more complex than white wines. White wines are generally lighter without the complexity of red wines. Although the grapes used are important, but the main difference is in the fermentation process. The red wines are mostly made of red and black grapes, and white wines from grapes. Sometimes, red grapes, black and white are combined.
During the process of fermentation of white wine, stems, seeds and grape skin are gently removed from the grape juice after it is ejected from the machine press. In addition, during the process of fermentation of red wine grape stems, seeds and grape skin is left in the squeezed juice. Leaving the stems, seeds and grape skins in the juice it produces tannins and pigments and ingredients are also responsible for the complexity of red wines.

Tannins are compounds that are present in grapes and other plants. When you participate in drinking a cup of tea, strong bitter taste is due to the tannins. These tannins act to prevent oxidation of the wine during the aging process. This is very important in the prevention of red wines, which are generally older and aged for much longer period of time than white. Because tannins are aging and provide another layer of flavor, thus increasing the complexity of the wine and make it more robust. Bite down and smooth tannins as the wine ages.
