Ep. 2: Red vs White — What’s Actually Different?

Red wine, white wine — we all know the colour difference, but what actually makes them different? Spoiler: it is not the grape colour.

In this episode, we explore how skin contact during fermentation creates the tannins, colour, and body that define red wines. We taste a Chardonnay alongside a Pinot Noir to highlight the differences in real time.

We also bust some common myths: Can you make white wine from red grapes? (Yes.) Should red wine always be served at room temperature? (Definitely not in Hong Kong.)
