Wines: White or Red?

Post by Bluebird03 »

I have recently discovered some of the red wines that are "aged in bourbon barrels" and find them delicious. While red wines are my favorite, I did try a chardonnay that is also aged in bourbon barrel- it was pretty good also.
Just wondering if you prefer red wines or white?

Wine has never been something I drink regularly. I remember like white wines the most, but the aged red wine you mentioned does sound interesting.

I used to love red wine until I took a whole bottle of it in one night and vomited everything I had eaten. Now I can't even stand the thought of taking it again. I think I'll give white wine a chance.

I love a wine or 2 most nights, really relaxes me. I am solely white wine though, for some reason I have never been able to enjoy the taste of red wine (I have tried a few different ones). I also enjoying having my glass while cooking, sometimes pouring some into the pan!

Red wine
Red wine is made by crushing and fermenting dark-colored, whole grapes.

I tend not to like wine very much because I tend to find it to bitter. Although, I have found a couple of red wines recently that are quite nice, so I would say red wine is my favourite and it’s apparently better for you.

White wine. It goes well with a lot of dishes and helps with my digestion. Red wine is really bitter for me and never got over that.

I usually go for red wine, typically a blend that is not too strong or too sweet. However, I will drink any and all wine especially if it is free wine 8) .

I typically like red wines more but if it's summer and it's hot out, I do like a chilled white wine.

I don't really drink wine that often, but if I do it will be a white wine, usually a moscato. There is a peach one at my grocery store that is pretty tasty.

I think I have a bad association with red wine from needing to drink it at communion when I was little

Red, white, rose, if its any form of wine I am here for it. I absolutely love wine overall. I prefer red if I’m having one glass with supper but I prefer white if I am having a few drinks with friends.

Red, white, rose, sparkling...I have an ample supply of all of the above! I have always preferred red wines, but chilled white wines, roses, and sparkling wines are much more drinkable in the hot summer months. I grew up an hour away from Temecula, CA, which is a small wine region with some fantastic wineries. Now that I live on the East Coast, I subscribe to a company called California Wine Club that ships me 4-8 bottles per month from various wineries throughout the state. I also recommend the app Vivina if you are serious about wine and like to rate and review the wines you have tried!

Recently started drinking Valpolicella reds from Italy. Very bold flavors, and a real delight with dinners featuring pork/beef and a heavy sauce.

I always used to prefer the taste of red wines, but since they stain my mouth easily, I go for white wines nowadays. It's a simple reason, but due to that simple deterrent, I've been able to explore more.
