  Might be different in other languages, but English usually divides grapes into red and white for color.

  But I guess another question is why they call it white wine when it’s more yellow.

        That’s only because the wine is whitish. Nobody calls the grapes themselves white. And she squeeze the juice out the juice isn’t the same color as the skin. I’ve never heard anyone refer a grapes as white grapes

    In English, grapes are green or red.

    Wine is not a grape. White wine and red wine refers to the color of the wine. Nobody calls vodka golden because it came from a potato.

    Meanwhile Wikipedia notes ‘“Black” (dark blue) and “white” (light green) table grapes’

  Never heard about green grapes. Here in Germany they are called “white grapes” and EN-Wikipedia is also calling them that in english. We are also talking it “white wine” and so on.
