WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RED AND WHITE WINE?
The biggest difference between red and white wine, is that the former is made from red grapes, whereas the latter is made from white grapes. Beyond that, the difference lies in the production process - red wines are fermented with grape skins and seeds, while white variations - with few exceptions - are not.
WHAT IS AN ORANGE WINE?
Neither a red or even strictly a white, orange wines have been popping up on menus in restaurants in recent years. The difference between an orange wine and a white, is that while the latter has skins and seeds removed prior to the fermenting process, orange wine goes through the fermenting process with skin and seeds still attached.
