Do all red wines belong to wine?

Red wine doesn't all belong to wine; red wine made from prunes is called prune wine. There is also blueberry wine made from blueberries.

Red wine refers to red wine in general, but not necessarily red wine in particular.

Yangmei wine is made from prunes, white wine and rock sugar in a certain proportion. It is sweet in flavor and contains glucose, fructose, citric acid, malic acid and many vitamins. As early as the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the ancients knew to prepare Yangmei wine.

There are many ways to categorize wine. In terms of the color of the finished product, it can be divided into three categories: red wine, white wine and pink wine. Red wine can be subdivided into dry red wine, semi-dry red wine, semi-sweet red wine and sweet red wine

Expanded Information

Red wine is quite simple in composition, it is a fruit wine made by natural fermentation, and it contains the most grape juice, which accounts for more than 80% of the total, followed by the sugar inside the grapes, which is naturally fermented into alcohol. The alcohol is a very simple ingredient, and it's made by natural fermentation.

Wine made by fermenting the fruit's own sugar into alcohol by yeast contains the flavor of the fruit and alcohol. For this reason, people often make their own fruit wines to drink. For example, plum wine, wine, prune wine, kiwi wine and so on.

Because these fruits will have some wild yeast on the skin, plus some sucrose, so there is no need to add additional yeast can also have some fermentation, but the traditional folk method of making wine is often time-consuming, but also easy to be contaminated. So adding some active yeast is an ideal way to make fruit wines quickly.
