For everyone, from the high ranking wine connoisseur to a first time wine taster, white wines provide a tasty variety of flavors that can be matched with almost any food and are produced all over the world. Vineyards are found in France, Italy, Germany, Australia, the United States and more. Here in the United States, California is known as “wine country” with Napa and Sonoma being the “it” spots to visit for wine tasting tours.

There is no single great white wine. Each has its own award winners and some awards are given based on the kind of wine and the cost per bottle. While there are so many varieties of white wines available, it may be easier to understand the most popular. The most famous comes from the chardonnay grape in France, though vineyards for this grape exist in New Zealand and California. It is the number one selling white wine in America and tends to be on the dry side. It is not a very expensive bottle of wine, usually selling for around ten dollars a bottle. Production of this wine is high due to the ability of the grapes to adapt to different climates.

Food and wine are a natural combination for many people. White wines, being less robust than red wines, tend to go well with lighter foods, such as appetizers, salads, poultry and seafood. Which food goes with which white wine varies according to the flavor of the wine. Some have a citrus kick to them, while others are more rustic, taking on the flavor of grass or hay. But for some, it totally depends on their individual preference.
