There are many different types and styles of wine. Red, White, and Sparkling are the most common types of wine. White wines can include Sparkling, Champagne,
Moscato, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, Pinot Grigio, and Riesling. Red wines can include Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Malbec, Gamay, and Grenache.
They are also Fortified and Dessert Wines. Dessert wines are usually quite sweet, and fortified wines usually have a spirit added to them like whisky or rye.
Another good example is Bordeaux red wines from France. They are always blended with merlot and cabernet sauvignon or cabernet franc, or both, and also sometimes with malbec. Merlot is
usually the larger percentage of wine grape, like 70%.
A wine bottle label or store label may not always say if a wine is blended, but online wine websites can usually provide additional
information. The reason why they don't always name all the blend types is that often one of blend grapes may only be a small percentage of the wines overall blend, and
winemakers are not required by law to list all the smaller percentage blends.
Although a wine`s score isn`t the decisive factor for a wine`s drinkability, it usually is a good indicator of a wine`s overall character. But ultimately, it depends
on your preferred taste. That is why a wine`s style, flavours, aromas, and tasting notes together are good to know.
