White wine is a type of wine that is produced using non-coloured grapes or using red-skinned grapes' juice, not allowing it to extract pigment from the skin. White wine has a distinct color that is slightly yellow.

White wine's color can be derived from an assortment of grape varieties. White wines are made from the grape juice and grape skin of green, gold or yellowish colored grapes or from just the juice (not the skin) of select red grapes (as in some Champagnes).

White wines are often consumed with lighter meals, or as an apéritif. They are more refreshing, lighter in both style and taste than the majority of their red wine counterparts, making them ideal for spring and summer occasions. The old guideline of “white wine with white meat” still holds true in many instances, but there are plenty of exceptions and palate preferences that dictate which wines to pair with what foods.

Serving

Proper Wine Glass

White wine's beg a different glass style altogether from red wines. Dependent on the type of white wine, white wine can be served in different shaped glasses however,are most commonly presented in narrower glasses, as the sharper taper at the top of the glass allows for better aroma concentration of more delicate white wines. The shape of the wine glass is critical in order to control the exposure the wine has to the air, as the act of oxidization can alter the flavour pallet of the wine.
