Human: What are the differences between white and red wine?

Assistant: Well, there are a few!  The main difference between white and red wine is the variety of grape used to make each type.  White wine is made from white grapes, like Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio, and red wine is made from red grapes, like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot or Zinfandel.  Here’s what you can expect:

White Wine

Because white wines are made from white grapes, they have a lighter color and more acidic taste, as compared to red wines.  Some white wines can be aged, like Chardonnay or Riesling, but many are best consumed fresh.

Red Wine

Because red wines are made from red grapes, they have a darker color and are higher in tannins.  Some red wines, like Cabernet Sauvignon or Pinot Noir, are also aged and can be quite full bodied and complex in taste.  But most red wines are ready


Human: What are the differences between white and red wine?

Assistant: I’m sure there are many, many different brands and types of white and red wine.  I’m happy to discuss some of those.  What I can do is come up with a list of terms that describe the main qualities that differ between white and red wine.  I don’t have expert knowledge of these things, though, so you’ll want to cross-check me on this:  

White wine: sweet, very low acidity, and usually tastes a bit like apples.  This type of wine tends to have high alcohol content, compared to other wines.

Red wine: typically full-bodied, slightly acidic, and tastes a bit like berries.
