Can we make white wine with the Red grapes?

one of my colleague asked me this question and the answer is YES off-course we can make it.

Skin color determines wine color. The French term for it is blanc de noirs and most often refers to champagne that is made using the Pinot Noir grape.
To clarify the point: It is the skin that gives wine it's color not the pulp.If a red grape is crushed and the skin does not spend any time in contact with the juice a white wine will be the result,. If the skin and juice do spend a lot of time together a red wine will be the result.  


In  Champagne, Two of the three grapes used are black... namely Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. Only the third grape is white and it is Chardonnay. Most Champagne uses all three, but you can also get Blanc de Noir which only uses the two Pinots or, conversely, Blanc de Blanc which is 100% Chardonnay.
Other fizz may vary from this of course, but then they are not Champagne.


i like when someone asks me questions because by that i also get the chance to increase my knowledge.

if u have some more query than feel free to ask i'll be very grateful to you...

gud nyt- keep smile
