So why is your wine a particular color?<\/em><\/h2>\nWine color comes from the concentration of pigment in the wine, as well as how the color was extracted by the winemakers. Some grape varieties are darker in color and have thicker skin leading to a darker colored wine. Ripeness of the fruit also affects the darkness of the wine, since riper fruit get darker than less ripe fruit.<\/p>\n

Being in a warm climate with more sunlight allows for more ripeness than a cooler climate, so wines from warm areas tend to be darker. When the fruit is crushed, choices made by the winemaker affect the end color of the wine.<\/p>\n

A wine could be darker because the skin was left to soak with the juice before or during fermentation. A wine could also be darker because of skins being mixed in during the fermentation process. Both of these processes extract more pigment over time.<\/p>\n
As both red and white wine age, they head towards an amber color, making very old wines similar in color, no matter what color they started.\u00a0These choices also lead to flavor differences in the wines and are part of why every wine lover should know what color means when it comes to their favorite beverage.<\/p>\n
