Is all wine made out of red grapes?
I read somewhere that red wine is red because red grapes are used to make it with the skin still intact, and that white wine is white because the skin is removed and only the inside of the grape is used. This led me to think, are there no wines made from green grapes? Technically, I would assume green grapes could be processed just like red grapes, with the skin and made ito wine....green wine or something like that... I"m curious to find this out.
All red wine is made from red grapes and most white wines are made from white/green grapes.
The red color comes from the skins, so a white/green grape can't make a red wine, however the juice of most red grapes is clear so they can be used to make white wines if the juice is pressed out and the grape skins thrown away.
White wine is usually desired to be quite clear so it is normal not to ferment the skin with the juice (as must be done to make red wine) -- as that would risk discoloring the wine, but a few winemakers do so for a short period to get extra flavor and complexity.
Many different varieties of grapes are used to make wine because each offers something in where they grow best and the flavor and taste of the wine they make.
Grapes used for red wine are usually called black grapes -- even tho' their color ranges from pale red, thru purple to black, and the non-red grapes are usually called white grapes because they are used to make white wine, although their color can range from translucent white green up thru green, grey and pink.
A famous white grape is Chardonnay. A famous black grape is Pinot Noir. Both Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are used to make French Champagne -- thus this white sparkling wine is made from both white and black grapes.
The term green grapes usually refers to unripe grapes, because they are all (black and white) green until they ripen. And often bunches of ripe black grapes will have some unripe green berries in them, which the better wineries sort out and discard.
As far as most people are concerned -- and legally in the EU -- wine is made only from grapes. Other products can be used to make alcoholic drinks -- such as mead -- but they are not wine.
