Wine Styles
Wine styles refer to the various categories of wine that differ in flavor, aroma, and texture. The main styles include red wine, white wine, rosé wine, and sparkling wine. Each style is influenced by factors such as grape variety, fermentation process, and aging methods. For example, red wine is made from dark-skinned grapes and typically has a fuller body, while white wine is produced from green or yellow grapes and tends to be lighter.
Additionally, wines can be classified by sweetness levels, such as dry, off-dry, and sweet. Dessert wines are often sweeter and served with or after meals. Other styles include fortified wines, which have added spirits, and natural wines, made with minimal intervention. Understanding these styles helps consumers choose wines that suit their preferences.
