Orange Wine, Boxed Wine, and More

While orange wines are still developing, other wines are also experiencing varying degrees of success.

As the year comes to a close, a few wine topics should be addressed. Each could be examined in more detail, but here are my thoughts in brief.

‘Orange Wine’

This relatively recent development is really a white wine in which the grape skins have been left in contact with the liquid. So instead of being bright yellow or even white, the wine takes on an orange hue.

Orange wine originated in France’s Jura wine region. There, producers make wines called “vin jaune,” yellow wine. Intentional oxidation creates a light, sherried aroma.
