We love wine with a color in the name. Every color has a meaning, a mood, an emotion. Colors influence state of minds and trigger instincts. They are carefully picked to provoke and promote. They all have been assigned with various meanings, but they do remain highly subjective. When assigned to the name of wine, the winemaker may have picked his favorite color, or simply a reference to the wine itself.
Are you easily influenced by color? Would you pick a wine over another if your favorite color is in the name or on the label? Winemakers hope so. They often come up with a list of name options and run them through a very rigorous selecting process. Some even go as far as hiring a marketing agency and creating a focus group to determine which name is the most likely to succeed.
Do you care to guess which color is the most widely used in naming wines? Of course you do!
