White wine is simply made by using stemmed and crushed white wine grapes and adding yeast. Wine gets its color from the skins, so white wine tends to have pale colors for two reasons: first the skins are not left in contact with the wine very long, traditionally, and second, the grapes are usually light skinned. However there is nothing to prevent one making a white wine from red grapes, such as with the abominable white zinfandel, created because of a surplus of red grapes no one wanted during a white wine boom.
However, saying that, there is much more than just mixing the two together and waiting for fermentation to occur. Choosing the grape type is the most difficult. I suggest you choose from what others have tried. In essence, this entire effort will be fraught with peril unless you ask someone how they have done it before. After you have done one or two batches, then you will begin to get the hang of things, but early efforts often go awry. Below is a good book and site, from one of many, for the beginner at home wine making. Have fun with it.

As a winemaker for many years, the best advice I could give you is to see your local kit supplier. If you actually want to MAKE wine (and not do what most do and have the shop do it for you), purchase the wine-making essentials (the carboy, airlock, hydrometer, etc.), and follow the wine kit instructions religiously. Reds are usually easier, so try it first. Something inexpensive. Later on, as you get better, progress to juice. And keep it simple. Don't turn your wine into a chemistry set. You should be fine.
p.s. there are good winemaking groups in the Internet you can go to if you're having trouble, but the chaps in the wine-making store usually have a pretty good handle on things and can give face-to-face advice. Good luck.

the making of white wine is simple i step is to crush any type of grape it doesnt matter wether if it is red or white just collect the grape juice & add cultured yeast in it remember dont add skin in it as if you r making it with red grapes it will turn its colour red as skin leaves colour & one more thing is that it will increase the temp. of fermentation & will ruin your wine in earlier stages
step 2: is to check the temp it would be around 45 to 65degree farenheit. then comes rtacking in which you transfer fermented juice from one vat to another to remove any kind of impurity
step3: mature your wine for at least 3 years to get a good flavour then again purify it
step 4: then have as you want it
