Red Wines
“…all you need is love… and a glass of red wine”
With hundreds of varieties of red wine grapes, there is as much red wine information to learn about, as there are red grapes planted in all corners of the globe. That being said, you’ll likely encounter only a handful of these grapes most often. Within our wine list, expect to find a range of traditional classics.
Red wine is a type of wine made from dark-coloured (black) grape varieties. Although, the actual colour of the wine can range from intense violet to brick red for mature wines. And brown for older red wines. For that reason, figuring out which type of wine is right for you can be challenging. Our Fizzy Tarté team will always be happy to help you on the way to discovering what wine you enjoy.

Why anyone decided to turn those grapes into an alcoholic treat is anyone’s guess. Perhaps it was just a chance when various grapes and berries were left to ferment and someone was brave enough to taste the end results.
The Prehistory of Wine
Winemaking didn’t just start in one location and suddenly spread. There’s archaeological evidence of wine-making stretching back to 7,000 BC. In China and later examples in Greece, Sicily and Georgia to name just a few. By 4,000 BC people were producing wine on a larger scale in regions like Armenia where the oldest known winery was recently discovered.
The Areni-1 cave in Southern Armenia suggests that winemaking for the locals had been around for a lot longer. According to site archaeologist Gregory Areshian.
“This is the earliest, most reliable evidence of wine production. For the first time, we have a complete archaeological picture of wine production dating back 6,100 years.”
Now, if Wine was the answer then what was the question?
