White wine is a type of wine made from the fermentation of grapes that have a light-colored skin. It can be produced from various grape varieties, including Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Riesling. The winemaking process typically involves pressing the grapes to extract their juice, which is then fermented without the grape skins to maintain its pale color. White wine is often enjoyed chilled and is known for its crisp and refreshing taste. It can range from dry to sweet and is commonly paired with lighter foods such as seafood, chicken, and salads. The flavor profile can include notes of citrus, green apple, and floral aromas.
