Video sum up: Where the hell is the white wine?

Vision is very important to judge a wine:

• color gives you an indication of the age a wine
• color also indicates to a certain degree the grape and the structure of a wine

Even pros can’t do this. People with years of education can’t do this.

By smelling the wines, Jeremy’s get the first aromas of the different wines (for example “cherry, red fruits” for the first wine…).

While tasting Jeremy tried to feel the tannins and the acidity.

You should really try this at home with your friends! It is really tricky and a lot of fun.

Jeremy also tried in another episode to find the red wine among 4 wines (3 whites and one red), see the video here.

Share your experience in the comments! Did you manage to find the white wine?

Video sum up: Why do red wines aged better than white wines?

Both red and white wines could age very well.

However it is true that reds may hold up longer because of the tannins, that natural vegetal acid.

Most white wines are also designed to be drunk younger.

Video sum up Can we distinguish white wines from red wines when you are blindfolded?

Jeremy’s challenge is to find a white wine from a red wine.

Vision is one of the sense used to judge and appreciate a wine. Jeremy found the white wine mostly thanks tannins.

If you are still not convinced have a look at these two videos:

• Where the hell is the white wine? Jeremy’s challenge is to find a white wine among a total of four wines (3 reds and 1 white). Did he manage to find the white wine while blindfolded?
• Wine Challenge: White VS Red Blindtasting: same challenge but this time Jeremy had to find the red wine

Video sum up: What makes a wine a particular color?

Although this question looks silly the answer is really complex.

Basically:

• white wines comes from white grapes
• red wines comes from red grapes

After a lot of other factors have to be taken into account:

• The longer you live the skin of the grape in contact with the wine the darker the wine would become. For example: Rosé wines are red wine where grape skins have been exposed to wine only for a limited period of time.
• Different grapes will give different depth of color. For example Viognier and Pinot Grigio give a very light color.
• It also depends where the wine is aged: if the wine is aged in steel it will not add any additional color. But if the wine is aged in oak it will be darker.

After it is all a winemaker choice.
