What's the difference between Red Wine & Rose?

or are they the same thing?



%26amp; I've heard a couple of glasses of red is good for the blood flow... is this the same for Rose?
What's the difference between Red Wine %26amp; Rose?
The guys who are saying it's a mixture have no idea what they are talking about.



The difference is the amount of time the grapes are allowed to ferment in contact with the skins. You can get red and rose (and sometimes even white) wine from exactly the same grapes.



Example: http://www.stsupery.com/wines/stsupery/r... That is made from Merlot grapes. Merlot is nearly always a deep red but that is a rose. They just didn't let the skins ferment in contact with the must very long. This is a white Merlot: http://corkd.com/wine/view/3525-Fortant_...



The other real common one you see is red and white Zinfandel. Same grape...different color.



A lot of the anti-oxidants in grapes are in the skins, so you aren't going to get all the same good stuff.

Reply:A rose is a mixture of white and red. White wine needs to be chilled, red wine is served at room temp.



Medical researchers do believe that red wine is good for the heart. It contains phytochemicals (mainly resveratol) that promote heart health and prevent cancer. (Plain grape juice contains the same phytochemicals).



Women should limit their wine intake to one glass per day (4 oz). Men should limit their intake to two glasses per day (8 oz). This is because TOO much alcohol leads to heart disease.



Doctors recommend the darker, richer red wines. Cabernet Sauvignon contains the highest concentration of resveratol. Petit Syrah and Pinot Noir come in a close second place with resveratol concentrations.
Reply:ROSE is a light wine. In some countries it is often artifically coloured. It is pleasant to drink and a good accompaniment to fish and light coloured meats - veal, pork etc.



RED is full blooded and excellent to drink with red meat - venison, beef etc.



Of course the types of grapes used determine if the wine is to be ROSE or RED.
