Red Wine

Red wine is a type of wine made from dark-coloured grape varieties. The actual colour of the wine can range from violet, typical of young wines, through to brick red for mature wines and brown for older red wines. The juice from most purple grapes is greenish-white; the red colour comes from anthocyan pigments (also called anthocyanins) present in the skin of the grapes; exceptions are the relatively uncommon teinturier varieties, which produce a red coloured juice
