Spain?

That's a pretty vague question.
What do you mean by red?
Only by physical colour? Or red because of the composition (like a particular compound or element)...
anyhoo...
Spain.

And Canada (Prince Edward Island has red soil due to high iron content and they grow grapes... not very many.. but they grow some)

Australia and New Zealand

Gold lettering on collectible Sydney Opera House wineIn 1838 William Macarthur planted Riesling vines near Penrith in New South Wales.[17] Riesling was the most planted white grape in Australia until the early 1990s when Chardonnay greatly increased in popularity.[15] Riesling still flourishes in the Clare Valley, in particular the areas of Watervale and around the Polish Hill River, and the cooler Eden Valley where some sparkling Riesling is produced. The warmer Australian climate produces thicker skinned grapes, sometimes seven times the thickness of German grown grape.[9] The grapes ripening in free drain soil composed of red soil over limestone and shale, producing a lean wine that as it matures produces toasty, honeycomb and lime aromas and flavours. It is common for Australian Rieslings to be fermented at low temperatures in stainless steel tanks with no oxidation of the wine and followed by earlier bottling.[18]

Australian Rieslings are noted for their oily texture and citrus fruit flavors in their youth and a smooth balance of freshness and acid as they age. The botrytized Rieslings have immense levels of flavor concentrations that have been favorably compared to lemon marmalade.[19]

Riesling was first planted in New Zealand in the 1970s and has flourished in the relatively cool climate of the Marlborough area and for late harvests in the Nelson region. In comparison to Australian Riesling, New Zealand produces lighter and more delicate wines that range from sweet to dry.

any soil that is red contains iron or iron oxides... There are many countries with iron oxides in the soils that grow grapes.... every country within the zones for conducive grape growth.... Australia to Zimbabwe....Nothing in Antarctica, little in Canada, Poland, Siberia, nor far South America.

Assuming that red soil = iron rich soil, then the USA does, in California for sure....
