Alfie asked:


Because i have asked many people this question and the only answer i have come up with is: it tastes better. But surely taste is a very personaly thing? And i prefer cold red wine, i was just wondering if there was any other reason.

I am making shrimp linguine for dinner tomorrow. I do not have any white wine in the house but do have white wine vinegar. Can I use this as a substitute and it still taste nice? Thanks!

Some of the people who use red wine may have a doubt. They are okay with red wine but confused with the colour of the wine being red. The colour of the red wine is red since the colour for the wine is accomplished from different varieties of grapes which range form reddish, a deep purple and even to beautiful blue.

The grapes which give colour to the wine is classified on the basis of colour like almost black, garnet, light red, dark red, ruby red, deep violet, opaque purple, maroon and so on. The skins of the grapes are responsible for providing the distinct spectrum of colours to the red wine.

The skins of the grapes remain in contact with the juice of the grapes even while the fermentation is happening. This causes the tannins as well as the colours to disperse into the wine.

The specific red hue of any individual wine is entirely dependent on the type of grapes which is used for fermentation as well as the period of time the pigmentation of the skin remains in contact with the grape juice. One can see about fifty varieties of red wine in the market.

Some of the varietals of red wine which occupy the top slot are:

Cabernet Sauvignon

Zinfandel Merlot

Pinot Noir

Cabernet Francs

Syrah

Petite Sirah

Sangiovese

Shiraz

Grenache as well as

Malbec.

The red wines are usually known by their common regional names. In France, the red wine is Bordeaux which is manufactured primarily from Cabernet Francs, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot varietals of grapes.

If you want to order a wine while you are in Italy, the most popular name will be Chianti, which is made from Sangiovese varietal of the grapes.

Either black, green or amber grapes can be used for this recipe and the resulting wine will suit almost every taste.

2 bags (4 lb.) of grapes – 2 bags (3?? lb.) of sugar – 1 oz. yeast

1 gallon water.

Separate the grapes from the stalks and then crush them by hand. Pour the boiling water over them and leave to soak for forty-eight hours. Strain and put the juice through a jelly-bag. Allow to drain and then pour into the fermenting vessel and add the sugar.

Mix until the sugar is dissolved -this will take a lot of time with cold grape-juice. When all the sugar is mixed well sprinkle the yeast on top and stir in. Seal, and ferment for fourteen days; after which proceed with bottling. It’s so much bliss to learn How to Make Homemade Wine.
