The glasses to reach for, in this case being tall suitably sized glasses getting shorter for full-bodied rich whites. Reds, on the other hand, are produced similarly to white wine but only with the addition of grape skin, grape pip and seed incorporated into the fermentation process. Red wine is generally fermented at a higher temperature to extract colour, tannin, aroma, and flavours with different levels of concentration, which varies as per the duration of the process. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir, and Zinfandel are good choices to start with for wine beginners. Light-bodied red wines go well with grilled vegetables, white meat or chicken.
