Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between red and white wine?

The main difference is skin contact during fermentation. Red wine is made by fermenting grape juice with the skins, which gives it color, tannins, and body. White wine is made by pressing the juice away from the skins before fermentation. Rosé gets its pink hue from brief skin contact.

What are the best wine regions in the world?

The most celebrated wine regions include Bordeaux and Burgundy in France, Tuscany in Italy, Rioja in Spain, Napa Valley in California, the Barossa Valley in Australia, and Mendoza in Argentina. Each region is known for specific grape varieties and styles shaped by its unique climate and soil.

What is terroir?

Terroir is a French term that describes the complete natural environment in which a wine is produced — including soil, climate, topography, and surrounding vegetation. It is the reason the same grape variety can taste completely different when grown in different regions, and it is central to how wines are classified in France and much of Europe.
