Site for color definitions of Wine?

Hi Burks and welcome to the Wine Board. What you have always heard is far from accurate. Color of wine is determined by the color of the grape it is made from, and in the case of red grapes made into rose' wine, how long the juice from the grapes is in contact with the skins.

Almost all table wine (with the main courses) is dry be it white, red, or rose'. Dessert wine of any color is sweet. Yes rose' is pink. Burgundy is made from the pinot noir grape which is actually lighter in color than most other reds.

Recommend that instead of wondering all over this site and other internet sites, that you just get a good book. "Wine For Dummies" is a great place to start. Among other things they tell you what color all the principal wine grapes are.
