"not so complete" Info about Wine

My experience drinking wines so far is not so good so hereby I decided if I want to drink wine I have to do a research 1st about which wine is good to drink at and mostly at a relaxing time. While I did the research I found many interesting facts about wine (white, red, rose, champagne).

1. White wine is made from green grapes like sauvignon blanc, riesling, chardonnay, moscato (muscat), tawny, semillon, etc.
2. Red wine is made from red grapes like pinot noir, merlot, cabernet sauvignon, shiraz, pinot grigio, etc.

There are also variety tastes of wine that not into my liking like dry (high acidity of wine), semi-dry (not so high acidity of wine), while Icewine (Iskiilin), dessert and fortified wine are sweet wines that I like to taste. When I was in wine section in supermarket I got confused to see chardonnay, sauvignon blanc, merlot, pinot noir, etc then now I understand that the manufacturer of the wine always put the name of the grape that they used whey the producing the wine because every single variety of the grapes have different tastes. I always wondered why Caucasian find wine is a must-drink as a part of their culture? While for me as South-east Asian think that wine contains alcohol and it's not good to consume a lot of alcohol at the same time. However may be environment changes people as so wine is look as the substitute of water for Caucasians like tea as the substitute of water for Chinese and Japanese people.

The interesting fact is dessert wine is made mostly from riesling (popular in Germany), semillon (popular in France, this grape usually use for "sauternes" a popular bordeaux dessert wine), moscato (popular in Israel and Greece). Bordeaux is a French region that popular because its wine production worldwide, they name the wine mostly using "CHATEU" as the 1st word, the wines from Bordeaux recognized as expensive wines with the superior (the best) quality of wine. Now France, Spain, Italy, Australia, Chili, California, Israeli, Germany, South-Africa, even China and Thailand (newbies in wine business) also competing with each other to make the best wines in the world, I don't know about other countries though.

I was thinking why a rose wine called "rose"? Is it because of the pinky color rose-like or because the taste like rose. Just read about the rose wine from internet I guess is not enough because I have to experience it myself then I will get the answer of questions.

I studied a lot from wikipedia.org this website is really useful, even though sometimes the content needs to be updated.
