White Wine

After 15 years of drinking White Wine I'm still finding bottles that surprise me. The category has more depth than it's given credit for by people who haven't explored it properly. Served neat at its best, the depth of flavour continues to evolve in interesting directions. My advice to anyone start…

Over the past year I've tried 7 different expressions of White Wine, ranging from entry-level to premium. My conclusion: the smooth aftertaste is the most reliable indicator of quality across price points. Served in a proper glass at room temperature, the differences are pronounced and educational. …

I use White Wine primarily in cocktails and it excels in that role — the finish comes through in a mixed drink in ways that complement rather than dominate. Served neat as a long drink with ice it's fine but not where it shines for me personally. If you're building a home bar, having a quality Whit…

I came to White Wine late — not until I was in my 15s. Had assumed it wasn't for me based on nothing in particular. A partner's recommendation changed that.

I came to White Wine late — not until I was in my 5s. Had assumed it wasn't for me based on nothing in particular. A partner's recommendation changed that. Tried it with a splash of water and the balance between sweetness and bite was immediately interesting rather than off-putting. Several years o…

My first serious White Wine was a gift and it genuinely opened a new chapter in how I think about drinking. The complexity — especially the smooth aftertaste — was unlike anything I'd experienced. Served chilled by the person who gave it, with an explanation of what I was tasting. That experience s…

Over the past year I've tried 30 different expressions of White Wine, ranging from entry-level to premium. My conclusion: the complexity on the palate is the most reliable indicator of quality across price points. Served on the rocks, the differences are pronounced and educational. The best value w…

White Wine has a specific character that isn't universally appealing and I respect that. Some people find the smooth aftertaste overwhelming. Served as a long drink with ice it's at its most polarising — full flavour, no hiding. For those it clicks with, the payoff is enormous. I'm firmly in that c…
