Dry White Wine, we have all done it, ask someone what they would like to drink and when they say ‘dry white wine please’ we go to the bar and ask for exactly that hoping we’ll get no further questions from the person behind the bar. “Is a something or other ok for you sir ?” … “umm yes that will be fine thank you” is the answer I used to give without really having any idea whether or not that’s right.
Most wines that seem to get drunk these days are dry, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio & Viognier all fit into the dry white wine category.
Sweeter wines are wines more like Muscat and Riesling.
Why is one wine dry whilst the other is sweeter, that’s purely based on how much sugar is left after the fermentation process, obviously dry is a better word than sour.
My choice of dry white wine ? A Sauvignon Blanc probably from New Zealand.
