At Wine Internacional, we believe that appreciating wine starts with understanding its fundamentals. Whether you're new to wine or a seasoned connoisseur, having a solid foundation is key to enjoying what the world of wine has to offer.

Types of Wine

• Red Wine: Made from dark-colored grape varieties, red wine is known for its rich flavors.
• White Wine: Produced from green or yellowish grapes, white wine is typically lighter and crisper.
• Rosé Wine: This wine is made from red grapes, but the skins are removed early to achieve a pink hue.
