When you think of white wine, you probably picture green or yellow grapes, right? Surprisingly, white wine can actually be made from dark grapes too! The secret lies in the winemaking process.

Wine gets its color from the grape skins, not the juice. To make white wine from dark grapes, winemakers simply separate the juice from the skins before fermentation. Without the skins, the wine remains light and clear, resulting in the crisp, refreshing white wine we love—no matter the grape’s original color.

So next time you sip on a glass of white, just remember: it might have started as a dark grape!
