I have read that grape juices are light colored and red wines only get their color when they sit on the skins. I have also crushed some fresh grapes just to see and found their juice to be very light. I know I have not tried this on many grape varieties.
Today I started thinking, if pressing red grapes gives you a light colored juice why are commercial concord grape juices purple? Is it a dye that is added or is there something different about the concord grape?
