The world of wine can be a little overwhelming - with so many bottles brands and endless styles.

In general there are five categories or types of wine:

1. Red wine

made from blue or purple colored grapes and tend to carry considerable more tennin thanks to the way red wines are made with extended contact between the grape juice and grape skins.

2. White wine

Produced by the alcoholic fermentation of the non coloured pulp of grapes, always have a yellow/green transparent colour. The wide variety of white wines comes from the large number of varieties, methods of winemaking, and also the ratio of residual sugar.

3. Rose wine

Typically made from red wine grapes with just a short exposure of the grape skins to the pressed grape juice. Rose wines are made in wine regions all over the globe and offer a refreshing, well chilled alternative, especially in summer.

4. Sparkling wine and champagne

Are popular type of wine for their bubbly personalities :) Made from red or white wine grapes. The bubbles came from a second fermentation that captures the carbon dioxide undes sustained pressure.

4. Dessert wines

Made from red or white wine grapes and based on higher levels of residual shugar thanks to frozen grapes.
