很多人都對紅酒葡萄的品種感到非常疑惑，甚至覺得太複雜，無從入手。所以今次我們簡單介紹一下最受歡迎的3種紅酒葡萄的品種！

Carbenet Sauvignon (赤霞珠)，想信是最多人聽過的品種了，屬於full body，重Tannin(單寧)質感，多含複雜的味道且果香十足，每一口都有不同層次和變化，很多紅酒愛好者對這個品種都愛不釋手。

Pinot Noir (黑比諾) 的知名度與Carbenet Sauvignon不相伯仲，被視為紅酒中的貴族，同樣是很多紅酒愛好者的至愛，不過味道上則完全相反。Pinot Noir屬於light body，果味清香而細膩，有如玻璃般晶瑩剔透。

Merlot (梅洛) 也是很流行的選擇，尤其剛開始接觸紅酒的。它的特性是較低的Tannin (單寧)，大多medium body，相對容易入口，對於「新手」來說，較容易理解紅酒的味道。話雖如此，但因應種植地區的氣候，Merlot的變化也可以很大，所以也有不少的紅酒愛好者支持。

當然，有很多紅酒都不是用單一品種的，而是用幾種葡萄種類拼合，例如最著名的Lafite，就是mixed grapes的，各取所需，達致其酒莊的獨特味道。

A lot of people often feel confused about the types of red wine grapes so they just pick a red wine randomly from the stack. Therefore, I am gonna briefly introduce you the 3 most famous grapes.

Carbenet Sauvignon, Voila! You must have heard of this name even if you know nothing about it. It's highly appreciated by loads of wine lovers because of its unique complexity and strong tannin, with a full bodied texture.

Pinot Noir, another name that you've heard of. It's the Hermes in the world of red wine. Light bodied, sheer taste, elegant floral notes. It attracted a lot of wine lovers.

Merlot is also a popular choice, especially for those who are new to red wine. Its medium body and less tannin texture make it easier for new drinkers to taste the details of red wine. Nonetheless, Merlot can have a diverse taste depending on its region.

Of course, plenty of red wines use a mixture of different grapes. For example, Lafite, the most famous red wine, use mixed grapes to achieve its unique balance of tastes.
