Red Wine,White Wine is color the only difference.

First it is the grapes used then how the grapes are fermented and aged.
  The color is in large part a result of the color of the grape's skin. Red grapes, red wine White grapes, white wine. Remove the grape skin and there is little difference in the color of the red or white grapes. Both are for the most part white inside.
When fermented, the additional pressing that red grapes receive releases the tannins and colors into the wine giving red wines their color and flavors of red wines.
  After fermentation, Red wines are matured and conditioned in oak barrels for several months or longer.

The longer time the wine is in a barrel the deeper the color is likely to be However to long in the ageing barrel can be Bad news for any wine. Excess wood tannins will make the wine unpalatable even to those with the most exotic palate. To much aging in barrels is avoided for especially for white wines. This will overpower the lighter flavors of white wines, a few (such as Chardonnay) are however aged in oak. These same tannins, however, help intensify and add richness to a red wine, which is why most reds are aged in oak.
  The result is that red wines exhibit a set of rich flavors with spicy and herby flavor where white wines are light in character, with crisp, fruit flavors and aromas.

Methane is a global warming gas many times more potent that carbon dioxide.With Methane having one advantage over Carbon Dioxide. That is Methane can be used as a fuel. The process to make this work is relative simple with the moist used coffee grounds being heated with potassium hydroxide. So who cares you may be asking yourself. While It's not likely your local power company will be digging around in your trash ben for your used coffee grounds in order to capture and store their Methane emissions. Some smaller producers of Methane emissions may have some interest. Many oil wells also produce small amounts of natural gas. The volume of gas is so small that it's uneconomical to lay the needed pipe in order to place this gas into the natural gas lines that heat your home. So this g...
