Red wine for connoisseurs

Red wine is made from dark-coloured grapes and is produced differently to white wine. Maceration or digestion gives red wine its characteristic colour and intense flavour. The classic production process involves extracting the desired components during mash fermentation. The duration of fermentation can be adjusted as required. As a variation, the mash can also be heated before fermentation. The major growing regions for red wine, i.e. for blue grapes, are located in countries with predominantly mild climates. Many are in southern Europe, but Germany also has excellent wines to offer.. Italy, France, Spain and Portugal are known for their wide variety of red wines. Other countries such as Greece and Hungary also produce good red wine. Also in the USA, South America, Africa and Australia produce excellent wines..

The flavour of the red wine depends on the grape varieties, which are usually blended. This results in finely balanced, slightly sweet or tart flavours. From simple country wines to quality wines, you will find the right red wine for every occasion in the Globus online shop's wine range.

Country wine or quality wine

Whether you are looking for a cheap country wine or a fine drop, it is important that your taste preferences are met. The precise labelling will tell you whether the red wine is semi-dry and drinkable or a little drier. In some cases, you will find a note on the label about the optimum temperature. Even more helpful are tips on which dishes the red wine harmonises with. Fruity flavours or strong tannins - this is also a question of taste. A good table wine is a Barolo or Cabernet Sauvignon, which you serve with meat or pizza. A red wine is also a good choice for cosy get-togethers in the evening with savoury snacks.

Red wine from sweet to dry

The various wine regions in Europe produce fruity, aromatic wines with a sweet flavour, a large selection of semi-dry red wine varieties and dry, spicy red wines. Sweet red wines seem to be particularly popular in south-east Europe. The other regions tend to produce semi-dry and dry varieties. In Germany, Pinot Noir is very popular. The flavour depends on what food you want to serve the red wine with and what you like yourself. Slightly lighter, semi-dry varieties go well with mushroom and stewed dishes. The dry, tart red wines are suitable as an accompaniment to dark meat and cheese appetisers. A dry red wine can also be enjoyed with pizza.
