What is a dry white table wine?

Question

I see chardonay and chablis on the shelves at the store but nothing labeled dry white table wine. Is either chardonay or chablis considered dry white table wine?

Answer 1

Both can be considered dry, white wines. Chablis is a common table wine; chardonnay tends to be "drier" and is often thought of as an acquired taste.

Answer 2

Both Chardonnay & Chablis would fall under the dry white table wine category. However, an easy way to figure this out is, if the store you buy your liquor in says what the sugar code is (i.e. 0, 1, 2, 3, etc) than you are looking for a sugar code of 0. Sugar codes of 1 or 2 are considered to be semi-dry or semi-sweet depending on how the winemaker wanted to label them but you'll always be safe with a 0 if you want dry. If you're looking for specific grapes that would fall under this category, try:

Chardonnay
Chablis
Gewurztraminer
Pinot Grigio/Pinot Gris
Sauvignon Blanc

Stick with those and you should be fine.

Answer 3

Real Chablis is from France and is made from the Chardonnay grape. It is a dry white wine and goes from table wine to Premier Cru. It has a clean mineral taste because they don't use oak barrels. Anything called Chablis that is not from France is not real Chablis and could be anything, but it is mostly crap.

Any white white from the Burgundy area of France uses the Chardonnay Grape and it's dry.

Stuff called Chardonnay on the shelves could be dry to semi-sweet. It all depends on how it is made and what it's aged in, if it aged at all.

Answer 4

dry white table wine is a pretty generic term

dry = no sugars. the drier the wine, the less amount of alcohol.

table wine = something priced so you can drink everyday. not a special occaision wine.

Answer 5

if you just want a dry white table wine try Corvo - usually table wine it is an all purpose wine good for cooking - many of the types are sold in larger bottles-

Answer 6

Pino grigio, pino blanc, Chardonnay is a bit more dry, Chablis is a bit more sweet

Answer 7

A dryer wine,try a Poulet Fussey a bit pricey but well worth it.
