Red Wine: What&#8217;s The Difference?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The difference between white and red wine extends beyond color and taste and has implications for your health.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, let&#8217;s look at the process of making white and red wine. Both are made from fermented grape juice.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Grapes are picked and crushed to release their juice. The juice is then fermented with yeast, which converts the sugar in the grape juice into alcohol.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For white wine, the crushed grapes are pressed and the juice is collected. The skins, seeds, and stems are removed and the juice is fermented.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Red wine is made in a similar fashion, but the grape skins are left in during fermentation. This is what gives red wine its color. The skin also contains <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/sea-moss-and-weight-loss\/\">important compounds<\/a>, like tannins and phenols.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because red wine contains more of these <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/food-tourism\/\">beneficial compounds<\/a> than white wine it is often touted as being healthier than white wine.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Drinking_Wine_For_Its_Health_Benefits\"><\/span><b>Drinking Wine For Its Health Benefits<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&#8217;re going to drink wine for the <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/healthy-cauliflower-recipes-for-weight-loss\/\">health benefits<\/a>, it&#8217;s important to do so in moderation. The American Heart Association recommends a daily limit of alcohol intake to no more than two drinks for men, and one drink for women, respectively (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.heart.org\/en\/health-topics\/high-blood-pressure\/changes-you-can-make-to-manage-high-blood-pressure\/limiting-alcohol-to-manage-high-blood-pressure\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">12<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A standard glass of white wine is 5 ounces (148 mL). Keep in mind that the alcohol content of white wine can vary. For example, a glass of dessert wine may have twice the amount of alcohol as a glass of white table wine (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fdc.nal.usda.gov\/fdc-app.html#\/food-details\/1104477\/nutrients\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">20<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fdc.nal.usda.gov\/fdc-app.html#\/food-details\/174837\/nutrients\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s also important to remember that alcohol itself is toxic to the body, and any benefits can be quickly outweighed by damage from the toxic effects of alcohol. That is why moderation is important. Additionally, health professionals would not recommend that you start drinking if you don\u2019t currently or increase your alcohol intake in the hopes of gaining any health <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/sirtfood-diet\/\">benefit<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, following these tips will help you get the most health benefits from your wine if you do already drink it:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Choose dry wines over sweet wines<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
