There are many different types of wine that can be found on the market today from all around the world. There are wines that are only made in California or in France, and there are others that are found in Chile, Argentina or even Australia. The quality of the wine differs from place to place and from winery to winery, as the different makers use different techniques to produce their wine. There are some people who prefer a certain style of wine, such as a sweet red wine, while others will choose the type of red wine that goes with the particular meal that they are preparing.

Types of Wine

Dry red wines are usually more full bodied than other types of red wines. These wines usually have more tannin in them which creates the dryness to the wine. These wines usually have a spiciness to them which makes them have an all around fuller taste than their counterparts. This makes them delicious to use with red meats, which usually have a spicier flavor to them and create a wonderful foil to the wine.

One type of dry red wine is the Shiraz which is made in California, Australia and France. It is a very hearty wine, being used most often with red meat dishes. The wine is most often made in oak barrels which also add to the flavor of the wine when it is drunk. This dry red wine also has flavors of blackberries and black pepper spice, which make it an interesting complement to the red meat dishes.

Another type of dry red wine is the cabernet sauvignon, which is also most often used with red meat dishes as well. Usually the red meat dishes used with this type of dry red wine are prepared without a lot of extras, so that the flavor of the meat is unencumbered by sauces or spices. This wine is made in France as well as in Germany, Australia and Chile. The taste of this dry red wine has flavors of currant as well as bell peppers, and in some cases, the wine can also taste of vanilla, which comes from the oak barrels that it is treated in.

The Malbec and the Zinfandel can also be dry red wines depending on where and how they are made. These wines can be delicious with red meat dishes if they lean more to the drier side of wines, and can also be used to complement fish and chicken dishes if they are on the smoother side.

When choosing a red wine, there are many different varieties on the market, all coming from different parts of the world and using different types or mixtures of grapes. There are some dry red wines and others that are smoother to the palate and thus more viable for new red wine drinkers. Most red wines go with meat dishes, with some varieties being more palatable with red meats and others with rich red sauces and pasta dishes. Although red wines are not sweet in most cases, as some white wines are, they are still very delicious to eat with desserts, accenting the chocolate or other flavors with the dry and spicy flavor of the wine.

Typical Types

One type of red wine is the sahra or shiraz which comes from a variety of places such as California and France. There are also some varieties that come from Australia, but these are not as commonly seen in the United States. This type of red wine works very well with red meat since it has a spicy flavor to it which accents the flavors of the meats.

Another type of red wine is the merlot, which is commonly used to introduce new wine drinkers to red wine. This type of wine does not have as full of a flavor as the shiraz, and is usually not as dry. It is a good choice to use with a variety of meat dishes, including chicken or fish. A wine that is very similar but has more of a ‘bite’ to it, having more tannins. It is usually used with red meat since it is a fuller bodied wine with more spices to it, and it is made in Australia, France, Chile and California.

A less familiar red wine is the Malbec which is grown in Argentina, but also in France, Chile and Australia. This wine is typically smooth like the merlot, but it can vary in fullness depending on the area where it is grown. The pinot noir is also a very smooth red wine which often has a soft finish to it. Since this is the case, it is a great choice in wine for different fish dishes, especially salmon, and also chicken and lamb.

A red wine that can also look pink in color is the zinfandel. This wine is only found in California and can be a very light wine or a very heavy wine depending on the way it is made. Since there is this variation, zinfandels can go with a variety of dishes, from tomato sauce based dishes to grilled steaks and ribs.
