When asked to choose between a glass of red wine and a glass of white wine, some people might simply shrug their shoulders. For many, wine might taste good, but it's also a subject they don’t know too much about. The basic differences between red and white wine are simple and easy to recall during trips to the liquor store.
White Wine’s Delicate Taste: For people who are taking their first steps into the world of wine, a sweet white wine such as Sauvignon Blanc is generally recommended. With its lighter and more subtle taste, it tends to be more palatable for wine beginners and it also enables newcomers to develop a sense of the wine's marvelously complex flavors.
Red Wine’s Fruity Spice: When you follow up a taste of white wine with a sample of red wine, you'll notice an obvious difference right away. That difference is felt in the mouth: it’s dry, tangy and more intense than its lighter counterpart. This is primarily because of tannins, a compound released in red wine during fermentation.
Wine Pairing and Serving: The difference in taste should be taken into account when choosing wine for a meal. For the most part, red wine is paired best with a hearty, flavorful meal involving red meat or a tomato sauce, for example. White wine, on the other hand, is better accompanied with lighter proteins such as fish or chicken. While red wine may be served at room temperature, white wine is always served chilled.

Whether your taste runs toward sweet or dry, red or white, we're sure to have something that pleases your palate. Check out our online catalog today to begin your wine adventure.

These days, you can get nearly anything online. Why not save yourself a trip to the liquor store and place your order on the internet? You’ll be pleased to know that many of your favorite fine liquors are available online and can be delivered to your home with just the click of a mouse. Here are four examples:
- Brandy: Smooth, sweet, and powerful; there’s nothing quite like a snifter of brandy to round out an evening with your closest friends. Whether you like it neat, on the rocks, or in a delicious cocktail, brandy is always a wise choice. It’s good to have a bottle around for culinary purposes, too, as it can enhance the flavor of your desserts.
- Gin: No liquor cabinet is complete without the bitter, sophisticated taste of gin. Derived from juniper berries, gin is a popular choice for those who like martinis. Tanqueray, Bombay, Plymouth—you can find all of your favorites online, just waiting to be sent to your home.
- Whiskey: If you’re an imbiber of spirits, it’s hard not to like the good old fashioned taste of whiskey. Malt whiskey, grain whiskey, bourbon—they’re all delicious. Whether you like taking shots, sipping on whiskey on the rocks, or drinking some complex cocktails, every bar should have at least one kind of whiskey—now your house will, too.
- Rum: To give your home bar a bit of island flavor, why not add a splash of rum? Some of the best party drinks start with rum. For this reason, rum is an absolute must for the party-thrower. As with the other liquors, you’ll find all of the most popular brands online, as well as a few obscure surprises.
