Is White Wine Really Made from White Grapes?

This is wrong, because white wine is made from red grapes and from white grapes. Correct: Only red wine is made from red grapes. This is because in the production of red wine, the grapes crushed in the macerator enter the fermenter along with their skins. Since the colorants are mainly in the skins, the red wine gets its color from these skins. The intensity of the color depends very much on the amount of sunlight during the ripening of the grapes. That is why German red wines are naturally rather light in hue.
