What are the most popular types of white wine?
The different styles of white wines come largely from the grape varieties they are made from, each bringing different flavours and aromas. There are somewhere close to 600 different white wine varieties across the world … which means an awful lot of styles to explore. Here’s a closer look at some of the more well-known white wine styles and ideas for food pairings to bring out their best:
Chardonnay: This versatile wine offers a variety of flavours, depending on where it’s made. From the zing of lemon zest and mineral undertones in France to the warmth of baked apples, vanilla and tropical fruits in Australia. Try a glass with grilled chicken, creamy pasta dishes or seafood such as lobster.
Chenin Blanc: depending on the winemaking style, Chenin can be anything from lean and minerally to rich in honey and apricot flavours. Dry Chenin has become a staple of South African winemaking, but it also makes fabulous sweet and sparkling wines in France. It works exceptionally well with Asian cuisine, roasted veggies or a selection of soft cheeses.
Pinot Grigio: this easy-drinking Italian wine is celebrated for its characteristic mix of pear and citrus flavours. Keep it Mediterranean with Italian foodie favourites such as antipasti, light salads and freshly prepared seafood dishes.
Riesling: a highly aromatic wine bursting with peach and crisp green apple flavours. Off-dry styles offer a delightful mix of fruit and honey, while refreshingly dry Rieslings zip and zing. Try with Thai dishes, sushi or pork-based meals.
Sauvignon Blanc: perhaps the world’s current favourite style of white wine, Sauvignon is known for its punchy flavour and zingy acidity. Styles from New Zealand in particular overflow with tropical flavours like grapefruit, lime, passionfruit and green pepper. A glass can work well with various dishes – from goat’s cheese and green salads to grilled shrimp.
Viognier: this classic of the Rhône Valley is packed with exotic flavours of peach, apricot and hints of vanilla, all wrapped up with sweet floral aromas. Reach for a chicken curry, grilled fish or roasted vegetables as a good pairing with a glass.
Each variety, with its unique flavour and aroma, adds to the array of white wines available to wine lovers.

What are the most famous white wine blends?
White wine blends are created by skilfully combining multiple grape varieties, resulting in wines with complex flavours and aromas. Famous examples of white wine blends are:
Bordeaux Blanc – from France’s world-famous Bordeaux wine region. This blend is made from Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and Muscadelle grapes.
Champagne – a sparkling wine produced by expertly blending white Chardonnay grapes with its red-skinned siblings – Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier.
Rhône-style white blends – made from Viognier, Marsanne, Roussanne and Grenache Blanc these wines tend to be rich and more aromatic.
How do I serve and store white wine?
Serving white wine
To get the best from a glass of white wine, serve it at the right temperature, typically between 7-12°C. While some wines may have specific serving recommendations, this range is generally a good bet.
Opt for a classic wine glass with a narrow bowl and tapered top when pouring, as it amplifies the wine’s aromatic profile. It’s a good idea to hold the glass by the stem to avoid warming the wine with your hand.

Storing white wine
There are a few things to consider when storing unopened white wine:
- Temperature: avoid fluctuating temperatures – a consistently cool environment is best.
- Light: sunlight and artificial lighting can compromise a wine’s structure and style, so keep your bottles in a dark storage area.
- Humidity: a 60-70% humidity level will help prevent corks from drying out.
- Vibration: store your white wines away from sources of vibration, such as washing machines, to prevent the sediment in the bottle from being disturbed, which can accelerate ageing. A wine fridge, garage or cupboard under the stairs are good options.
