White wine is a wine
whose color can be straw-yellow, yellow-green, and yellow-gold
coloured.
White wine's color can be derived from
an assortment of grape varieties. White wines are made from the
grape juice and grape skin 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. As an example, Chardonnay combines
well with the taste of fleur de lis (triple cream
cheese).
