      Wine FAQs

      Which white wines are considered dry?

      Dry white wine is a white wine that has been fermented until all or nearly all if the sugar is gone. They are not sweet and have a crisp, refreshing taste. Here are some popular dry white wine varieties:  

      Sauvignon Blanc: Known for its bright acidity and flavours of green fruits, citrus, and sometimes herbaceous notes.

      • Chardonnay (unoaked): Unoaked Chardonnays are often considered dry, with flavours of green apple, citrus, and a crisp finish.
      • Pinot Grigio: This light and crisp wine typically has citrus, green apple, and pear flavours.
      • Albariño: A Spanish white wine with high acidity, featuring notes of citrus, green apple, and sometimes a hint of saline minerality.
      • Vermentino: Originating from Italy, Vermentino wines are often dry with bright acidity and flavours of citrus and green apple.
      • GrunerVeltliner: A white wine from Austria with a characteristic white pepper note, along with citrus and green apple flavours.
      • Riesling: While Riesling is known for its sweetness, there are many dry Riesling wines available, especially from regions like Alsace, Germany, and Austria.
      • Muscadet: A crisp, dry white wine from the Loire Valley in France, usually with notes of green apple and a hint of salinity.

      What is a good brand of dry white wine?

      There are many excellent brands and producers of dry white wine, and the best one for you may depend on your personal taste preferences and the specific grape variety you enjoy. Here are a few good brands for every budget known for producing quality dry white wines:

      • Hunter’s: If it’s top-drawer Sauvignon Blanc or a lime-fresh dry Riesling you’re after, Hunter’s is a great place to start. From a multi-award-winning Kiwi estate, this is the dry white wine brand you choose if you want to impress.
      • Lobster Shack: One of our best-loved dry white wine brands – and for good reason. The Lobster Shack range delivers incredible bang-for-your-buck with superb flavour-packed wines. Try the Lobster Shack Chardonnay Viognier Chenin Blanc blend for something a little different. Redheads:
      • RedHeads is a terrific, eco-focused winery in Australia's Barossa Valley. It specialises in sniffing out great parcels of grapes that result in absolute gems in the cellar – and their dry white wines are no exception. Its Grüner Veltliner ticks all the boxes – lime-crisp, with a hint of melon and white pepper.

      What is the best dry white wine for cooking UK?

      When it comes to choosing a dry white wine for cooking in the UK, you'll want to select a wine that enhances the flavours of your dish without overpowering it. Here are some commonly used dry white wines for cooking in the UK:  

      • Sauvignon Blanc: Its crisp acidity and citrusy notes make Sauvignon Blanc a versatile choice for a wide range of dishes. It pairs especially well with seafood, poultry, and lighter sauces.
      • Chardonnay (unoaked): Unoaked Chardonnay provides a clean and neutral base, allowing the other ingredients in your dish to shine. It's a good option for creamy sauces, chicken dishes, and risottos.
      • Pinot Grigio: With its light and refreshing profile, Pinot Grigio is suitable for dishes where you want the wine to complement rather than dominate the flavours. It works well in pasta dishes, seafood, and light cream sauces.
      • Verdejo: This Spanish white wine is known for its crisp acidity and citrusy notes. It can be a great addition to dishes like paella, seafood, and salads.
      • Picpoul de Pinet: Hailing from the Languedoc region in France, Picpoul de Pinet is a bright and zesty wine that pairs well with seafood dishes, especially those with a hint of Mediterranean flavours.

      Which is a dry white wine, Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc?

      Both Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc are popular dry white wines – each with its own with distinct characteristics.

      Chardonnay is known for its versatility and can vary widely in flavour depending on factors like the region where it's produced and winemaking techniques. Chardonnay wines can range from crisp and citrusy to rich and buttery, often influenced by factors like oak aging.  

      On the other hand, Sauvignon Blanc is typically known for its high acidity and bright, zesty flavours. Common tasting notes for Sauvignon Blanc include citrus, green apple, grass, and sometimes herbal or mineral undertones.  

      In summary, both Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc can be dry white wines, but they have different flavour profiles. If you prefer a wine with a broader range of possible flavours, you might enjoy Chardonnay. If you lean towards a wine with high acidity and vibrant citrus notes, Sauvignon Blanc might be more to your liking.

      Which is drier, Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc?

      In general, Sauvignon Blanc is often considered drier than Pinot Grigio. Sauvignon Blanc is typically known for its crisp acidity and bright, zesty flavours, and it is commonly vinified in a dry style. Pinot Grigio, too, is generally made in a dry style, but it might have a slightly rounder or fuller mouthfeel compared to Sauvignon Blanc.
