White wine is a type of wine that is made from white or green grapes. Unlike red wine, white wine is not fermented with the grape skins, which gives it a lighter color and a more delicate flavor. White wines can vary widely in taste, depending on the type of grape, the region in which it was produced, and the winemaking process.

Some common types of white wine include:

1. Chardonnay - a popular white wine that is known for its buttery, oaky flavor and is often aged in oak barrels.

2. Sauvignon Blanc - a crisp, refreshing white wine that is known for its herbal and grassy flavors.

3. Pinot Grigio - a light and easy-drinking white wine that is known for its citrusy and floral notes.

4. Riesling - a sweet, aromatic white wine that is often associated with Germany, but is produced in many other regions as well.

5. Moscato - a sweet, fruity white wine that is often served as a dessert wine.

White wine can be enjoyed on its own or paired with a variety of foods, including seafood, chicken, salads, and light pasta dishes. It is typically served chilled, and can be enjoyed year-round.
