White Wine FAQs

What is a white wine and how is it made?

White wine is made from the juice of green, yellow or even red grapes — the skins are removed before fermentation, which is what keeps the colour pale and the flavours clean and crisp.

What are the different white wine types?

Sauvignon Blanc brings zesty citrus and cut grass, Chardonnay ranges from lean and mineral to rich and buttery, Pinot Grigio is light and easy-drinking, and Riesling spans bone-dry to lusciously sweet — each variety carving out its own distinct personality in the glass.

How many calories are in a bottle of white wine?

A 750ml bottle of white wine comes to roughly 550–650 calories, with the exact figure depending on alcohol level and residual sweetness.

How many calories are in a glass of white wine?

A standard 175ml glass typically holds around 120–160 calories — lighter styles like Pinot Grigio sit toward the lower end of that range.

How long does white wine last once opened?

Re-cork or reseal it tightly and refrigerate, and an opened bottle of white wine will generally stay fresh for three to five days.

How to store white wine?

Keep white wine somewhere cool and dark before opening, lying bottles on their side if they're cork-sealed, and move it to the fridge once it's open.

White wine is made primarily from green or yellow grapes (though some white wines are made from red grapes with the skins removed before fermentation). The world of white wine ranges from bone-dry, mineral Chablis and steely Muscadet to rich, creamy, oak-fermented white Burgundy and full-bodied Alsace Vendange Tardive. In between lies an extraordinary spectrum: the citrus freshness of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, the floral aromatic intensity of Condrieu Viognier, the honeyed complexity of mature Riesling, the texture and depth of aged white Rioja. White wines are the natural partner for seafood, shellfish, fish, lighter meats, vegetables and soft cheeses. At Wines Direct we source white wine from the world's finest producers: Burgundy, Alsace, the Loire, the Rhône, Germany, Austria, Italy, Spain, Portugal and the Southern Hemisphere — always prioritising wines that reflect their origins and reward attention.
