Tannin is quite an important component in wine, and it’s a term is quite key, and that you should be comfortable with and understand well.
So what is tanning? Tannin is actually the name of a compound that is found in red wine and that has a bitter taste.
From there we have the word “tannic” which is how we describe a wine that is very bitter because of its high tannin content.
Along with sweetness and acidity, tannic is one of the 3 basic tastes that are found in wine.
But it is only found in red wine!

Is there a specific reason why tannins are not “welcome” in white wines, or why the twigs, skins and pips are being removed before maceration?

I understand, drink black tea then... No fruits nor seeds in black tea though. There are tannins in nearly all plants except maybe salads (wonder why, strange behavior of salads ! )

I am cautious about tannins....red wines. Chocolate. Coffee. Peelings of vegetable. Etc. Because for me ....tannins (I like the bite ). But refrain At evening. Are the bane of sleeping . And so dinner wine,for me, is white no matter the protein...

To taste tannins is easier as what you say (drink black tea): simply eat any sort of unripe fruit (grape, but also apple, pear, berries...) and you will soon learn how tannins react in your mouth !!! :))

Hi Arnould and thanks for your comments. Indeed tannin is found in many fruits in the skin, the seeds... But being able to discern tannin from acidity at that point is very difficult for someone trying to understand tastes, identifying and separating each. That is why black tea is the perfect example: there is just tannin... no acidity, no sweetness, no saltiness just the bitterness of tannin.

"Tannins are only found in red wines because it comes from the maceration which only occur when making red wines" hmm? so what about orange/skin contact wine?
