Choosing the perfect bottle of wine can be intimidating. There is always a sheer variety of wine bottles on store shelves or restaurant menus. We’re here to help you understand a thing or two about general wine types to help you pick the best one.
Red wines are all about dark fruit flavors and tannins that make them excellent food matches. What are tannins? Tannins are in the skins of grapes and can add bitter flavors to the wine. They give the colors to the wine.
White wines are usually tart, light, and refreshing. Whites have aromatic notes – flowers, citrus, and tropical fruits.
Rosé is pink in color. Rosy wines are made from various grapes. Aside from being pretty in pink, rosé has a refreshing taste – perfect for a warm summer day!
These are just the general types of wine. There is a lot more to wine but knowing the basics is a good place to start! The best way to know wine is to taste it. Buy a bottle or two and take your time in tasting the different types!
