Red wine grape skin contain tannin which make the key difference between the reds and the whites. The longer the juice is left in contact with the skins, the higher the tannin content. Tannin which make the wine heavier than its white counterpart also gives the wine a tart character. The firmness in the red wine is also due to the tannin.
