I want to try a glass of orange wine tonight.
orange wine
idiomA type of wine made from white wine grapes whose skins are not removed.
Origin
The idiomatic sense referring to a type of grape wine is from the color; this class of wines has been made for centuries (in many countries), but this particular English-language term for them was coined as a marketing term in the early 21st century (more in Wikipedia at orange wine § Terminology). The literal sense referring to a type of citrus wine is attested since the 19th century.
The waiter recommended a dry orange wine to pair with our spicy dinner.
Although many people are accustomed to traditional white or red, the unique tannins and complex profile of orange wine have gained popularity among modern enthusiasts.
