Sorry to correct u, but red wine are generally more bitter than
red wine, largely due to Tannin. Tannin gives that bitter taste
which white wine does not have becos it has been filtered off
during the process. If you drink tea, you will taste what Tannin is
like, dry and slightly bitter.
Generally, red wines are meant to be kept for some time before it
reaches its peak before consumption. Peak meaning, when the Tannin
mellowed and it integrates into the other ingredients of red wine
and thus giving a perfect mix. However, nowadays red wine are drank
in short term, they are rarely kept for long, thats why u see alot
of red wine on the shop that is meant for short term consumption
and they are made WITHOUT Tannin, thus of cos then it makes it less
bitter.
Yeah u are right, california makes arguably the best chardonnay and
sauvignon blanc (not france.) France makes better red wine classics
like Bordeaux and Burgundy....
LIke what u say, to be frank, most of us just drink, to be i cant
really tell the difference, if i like it, i like it..dun like, tell
me it is from where, how it is made, i also wun like it
heheheh...
anyway, just had a glass of 1996 Chardonnay not from california bt
from Italy, not bad not bad...
