Dry white wine
Description
Dry white wine is characterized by a clear, straw or golden color, along with fresh acidity and subtle notes of citrus, apple, pear, or herbal accents; this wine has a slightly astringent, dry finish that refreshes the palate. In terms of nutritional value, it provides calories mainly from alcohol (usually 11–13% ABV) and a small amount of sugars, as well as trace amounts of vitamins and minerals; it contains polyphenols and antioxidants, which, when consumed in moderation, may support heart health and metabolism, although excess alcohol is harmful. In the kitchen, dry white wine pairs perfectly with fish dishes, seafood, poultry, creamy sauces, risotto, and deglazing pans, enhancing aromas and balancing richness. Store bottles in a cool, dark place at a temperature of 10–15°C, and after opening, seal tightly and refrigerate, best consumed within 3–5 days.
