White wine is crafted from grapes fermented without their skins and seeds, distinct from the process used for red wine, which involves skin and seed fermentation, contributing tannins for robustness and aging potential. White wine varies in color from pale straw to deep gold and features acidity, which varies with climate and influences food compatibility. White wines typically exhibit floral, fruity, and citrus notes, in contrast to the fruitier, spicier, and earthier profiles of red wines.
