White wine differs from red wine in, first and most obviously,
color. Under that skin, the pulpy part of a white grape is the
same color as that of a red grape. The skin dictates the end
color for red wine, which differs from the white's color
determinates. This is mainly due to the pressing of the grapes.
When white grapes are picked, they are immediately pressed and
the juice is removed from the skins with little contact. Color
in white wine does vary, often from the type of grape,
occasionally from the use of wood. Listed below are a few of the
most common white varieties in the world wine market and of
wine.com. They are listed from lighter bodied, and lighter
colored, to fuller bodied with deeper colors. The list is not
set in stone – winemaker's decisions and climate may affect the
end result of a white wine's body and color – we just give you
the guidelines. ||Where primarily grown |Pinot Grigio/Pinot Gris
