Red Wines

[Innkeeper]

Hi Max and welcome to the Wine Board. White zinfandel is made from a red grape, but is not considered a red wine. This is because the healthful effects in red wines come from the skins. White zin only has brief contact with the skins, giving it the "blush" color. Regular zinfandel also sometimes known for clarification as "red zinfandel", does give you the benefits of red wine. The list of other red wines runs into the hundreds if not thousands. Your best bet is to go to a wine store a discuss things with the folks there. You will also be able to see with your own eyes which wines are red, white, or blush.
