Wine Tips
Wine is all about fine living at its most sophisticated. Unlike other liquors, wine is

about refined tastes. And then there is its reputation of keeping your heart healthy and fighting off cancer causing radicals. Of course, getting to know the finer nuances of wine and wine-drinking can take you places where business and social mingling is concerned, but a novice can begin by simply figuring the three types of wine and what makes them unique.

The Basics

RED WINE: Made from red, purple or blue grapes, its color comes from the juice's contact with red grape skins during the fermentation process. Due to its more complex flavor, red wine is typically served at a warmer temperature than white. Try chilling the bottle for 10 to 15 minutes for maximum enjoyment.

WHITE WINE: Can actually be made from white or black grapes, as all grape juice is initially colorless. With the exception of a few wines, many of them sparkling, however, most whites are produced from white grapes. White wine should be served chilled, but not ice cold, which can mask many of the flavors present. Styles range from very dry to sweet, depending on the grapes used.

ROSE WINE: Known as rosé [roh-ZAY] in Europe and sometimes blush in North America, this pink-colored wine is made when the skins of RED grapes are left in contact with the juice for a relatively short period of time, until the wine has achieved sufficient color. The wine is then processed as a white wine. Best served chilled and drunk young.

SPARKLING WINE: Perhaps the quintessential celebratory drink, sparkling wine is created when a yeast and sugar solution is added to dry table wine. The resulting fermentation creates tiny bubbles of carbon dioxide in the bottle. The terms "Champagne" and "sparkling wine" are often used interchangeably, but only those wines produced in the Champagne region of France can be truly called Champagnes.
