White wine is a type of wine made from the fermentation of grape juice, typically using green or yellow grapes. The skins of the grapes are usually removed before fermentation, which gives white wine its lighter color. It can range in flavor from sweet to dry and is often enjoyed chilled. Common varieties of white wine include Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Riesling. White wine is often paired with lighter foods, such as seafood, chicken, and salads. It is also a popular choice for social gatherings and celebrations, making it a staple in many cultures around the world.
