White wine is a type of wine made from green or yellowish grapes, or from the juice of certain red grapes with the skins removed to prevent coloration. The production process involves fermenting the grape juice without the skins, seeds, or stems, which differentiates it from red wine which includes these components to impart color and tannins. Common grape varieties used for white wine include Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, and Pinot Grigio. Each of these grapes brings its unique flavor profile, ranging from crisp and acidic to rich and creamy, often influenced by the climate and soil where they are grown. White wine can be enjoyed on its own or paired with a variety of foods, such as seafood, poultry, and salads, complementing and enhancing the flavors of the dishes. Served chilled, white wine is popular for its refreshing qualities and is a staple in many social and culinary settings, often associated with summer and outdoor dining due to its light and invigorating nature.
