Why We Love White Wines
Frequently asked questions
What is white wine?
White wine is typically made from green or yellow grape varieties, though some white wines are made from red grapes with the skins removed before fermentation. White wines range from crisp and refreshing to rich and full-bodied.
What are the most popular white wine varieties?
Some of the world's most popular white wines include Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, Riesling, Chenin Blanc, Albariño, and Grüner Veltliner.
Is white wine sweeter than red wine?
Not necessarily. Many white wines are completely dry, while others may contain some residual sugar. Sweetness depends on the winemaking style rather than the color of the wine.
What foods pair best with white wine?
White wines pair beautifully with seafood, poultry, salads, cheeses, vegetables, creamy pasta dishes, and many globally inspired cuisines.
Should white wine be served chilled?
Yes. Most white wines are best served chilled, though serving temperatures vary depending on the style. Lighter whites are typically served colder than richer, fuller-bodied wines.
What is the difference between Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc?
Chardonnay is often fuller-bodied and can range from crisp and mineral-driven to rich and creamy, while Sauvignon Blanc is typically lighter, brighter, and more citrus- and herb-driven.
Can white wine age?
Absolutely. While many white wines are intended to be enjoyed young and fresh, some varieties such as Chardonnay, Riesling, and Chenin Blanc can age beautifully for many years.
