I believe that red wine is something that most people enjoy, even if they don’t really understand it
There’s a contingency of wine drinkers who wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between a merlot and a red zin.
Now I’m going to give you a quick over view of a few red wines.
Cab is certainly the most planted variety of grape, worldwide. It’s probably the most well-known among consumers. I’d call it the all-star of grapes.
Bold, high in acidity, savory, elegant, and dry: This is the wine snobs # 1 red wine!
Merlot is also a simpler, sweeter wine, and some people might confuse it with a lack of quality. However that is not so.
Red Zinfandel isn’t really grown or found in too many places outside of the U.S. “It’s fruity, has a high amount of spice, and is pretty high in alcohol content, generally.
Many zinfandels have a cherry or strawberry-leaning juicy fruitiness. It’s lower in tannins, with a fuller, smoky body — making it easy to drink, while maintaining some complexity.
A red wine blend is simply a blend of several different types of red wines… Thus taking on the characteristics of the different types of grapes.
