white wine
Chablis, for example
White wine is wine made from light-skinned grapes or from dark grapes whose juice is separated from the skins before significant color transfer.
The color ranges from pale straw to deep gold.
White wines are typically served chilled and pair with lighter foods: a crisp white wine with the fish.
Common varieties include chardonnay, sauvignon blanc, and riesling.
