Most white wine is dry. When we talk about a <\/span>dry white wine or the driest white wine<\/strong>, it is important to know that we are talking about wines with little to no residual sugar<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is residual sugar?<\/h2>\n

Residual sugar is a natural byproduct of the winemaking process.<\/strong> Without getting into too much technical detail, suffice it to say that residual sugar gives the wine a sweet taste. Depending on the level of residual sugar (usually measured by grams per litre), this can range from very very sweet to undetectable, and everything in between. There are some very popular sweet wine types like Sauternes and Tokaji, but dry white wine wins the contest, hands down.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is the driest white wine in the world?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re reading this article, let\u2019s assume that you prefer dry white wine<\/strong> – or at least you are looking for the driest white wine that you can get your hands on. Once you get close to zero residual sugar, you\u2019ve got a \u201cdry\u201d wine. <\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • A New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc<\/strong> will be fully dry, as will a Sauvignon Blanc from Sancerre<\/strong> or Bordeaux<\/strong> in France. Sauvignon Blanc makes some of the driest white wine around.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • A steely Chablis<\/strong>, made from Chardonnay in the Burgundy region, will also be bone dry. Spanish Chardonnay too. <\/span><\/li>\n
  • There\u2019s lots of dry white Riesling, Pinot Grigio and Albarino<\/strong> out there too. All of these wines will have little or no residual sugar, so will be dry. Instead of looking for the driest white wine, we recommend you try a few of the following styles and figure out for yourself what you like!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
