I'm Catholic(Maronite Rite) and from what I understand, the type of wine used in the Eucharist has to be natural, from the fruit of the grape, pure and not mixed with any other substances or any chemicals. The color of the wine doesn't matter.
Most commercial wines are not used because they add other ingredients to their wines which make them different from other brands.
Wine was used by Protestant groups too until an alternative arose when Methodist minister-turned-dentist Thomas Bramwell Welch applied new pasteurization techniques to stop the natural fermentation process of grape juice. Then rules were changed and now some don't even have wine(mainly Western churches) while others(Eastern) do.

It is a Sacramental wine usually purchased through a Catholic Supply store. I like it very much. The only thing I do not care for is at Easter they change to a white wine during the Season to symbolize the new wine. I don't think that is necessary but, I am from a very Liberal Diocese that I have some problems with

I particularly don't see how that is viable due to the fact Catholic Churches don't serve foods earlier than offerings. We are abligated to quick one hour earlier than receiving Holy Communion, therefor the Church could no longer serve a meal forward of time. Also, it's not a instructing of the Church to serve alcoholic to minors. As an issue of reality it could be regarded fallacious due to the fact it would purpose damage to that individual. If this did occur it will have to be pronounced to the Bishop of that diocese in order that the concern will also be corrected. God bless, Stanbo

White wine and red wine are both acceptable for the Eucharist.
The General Instruction of the Roman Missal, section 322 states:
The wine for the Eucharistic celebration must be from the fruit of the grapevine (cf. Luke 22:18), natural, and unadulterated, that is, without admixture of extraneous substances.
With love in Christ.
