The Colors of Wine

Red & White are the colors we commonly know when it comes to colors of wine. But how many of us actually know the true colors of our love? Yes, wine also has its very own Pantone shade card.

A particular color tone of wine tells you its age and a fair idea of its aftertaste, even before you give the bottle a mouth – to – mouth. Well, I can hear the sighs!
