Red Wine is a type of wine made from dark-colored grape varieties, with the skins left in contact with the juice during fermentation, which imparts its characteristic deep red or purple color. It is known for its rich, bold flavors, often featuring notes of berries, cherries, spices, and sometimes earthy or oaky undertones, depending on the variety and aging process. Red wines can range from light and fruity to full-bodied and tannic. Popular varieties include Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir, and Syrah. Red wine is commonly paired with meats, cheeses, and hearty dishes.
