For the four cups of wine at the Passover Seder, red wine is preferable. This is based on Proverbs 23:31), "Do not look at the wine as it reddens," which implies that red wine is the best kind.
Red wine also commemorates the blood of circumcision and the blood of the Paschal sacrifice. The Israelites were commanded to circumcise all their males before the Exodus.
Red wine also reminds us of the drops of blood that were put on the doorposts and lintels, as a sign when God passed over the homes of the Israelites, not permitting the destruction to smite them (Exodus 12).
Red wine also serves as a reminder of the blood of the Jewish children whom Pharaoh slaughtered (Exodus 1).
