This means that it is possible to make white wine from red grapes if the contact between the juice and the skins is limited. An example is French Champagne, which is made from the red Pinot Noir grape. Even though they have a pink tinge, White Zinfandel and all blush wines are considered white wines since the juice is separated from the solids prior to fermentation.
Rose wines, on the other hand, are considered red wines because even though it’s just for a short time,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], they are fermented with the juice and the skins.
White and blush wines are made by first crushing, then pressing the crushed grapes. Once this is done,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the liquid is separated from the solids prior to fermentation. Since almost almost no skin contact occurs only small amounts of color, bitterness or astringency are pulled from the skins.
Believe it or not,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], just about all grapes, even red ones, have clear juice. The red pigment comes from the skin of the grape. By fermenting the juice with the pulp and skins, red wine is made. It is during this fermentation process, that the red color is pulled from the skins.
While quality red wine can be made with rudimentary equipment, high quality white table wine is much more difficult to make this way. White wine oxidizes easily, and the effects of oxidation are more apparent.
In addition to describing wine color, the terms white and red used to indicate the way wine is fermented.
After fermenting for several days, the new wine is pressed and the
liquid and solids are separated. In addition to color, other materials are pulled from the skins during fermentation. These materials are what produce the astringency typical of red wine.
That does not mean that it is not possible to make a good white wine at home. It just means that more and better winemaking equipment is needed to make a high quality white table wine.
