How does white wine compare to red wine?

I like dark red wine but i've never tried white wine before.


What's a decent cheap brand i can find at Wal-Mart?


My mom's not gonna take me to a liquor store -_-





and,


How does white wine taste like in general?|||I drank only red wines for 30 years before discovering the differences and the enjoyment of white wines.


I still prefer red wines, but have found a place for many white wines.


The differences are vast.


Red wines are much drier, with aromas and flavors of black and red fruits and you can throw in some tobacco, leather, earth etc.


White wines are more fruity and floral with aromas of honeysuckle, wild flower, citrus, peach, melon and tropical fruits. Also a bit sweeter and less dry.


For food pairing, try your white wines with salads or seafood for even greater appreciation.





The white wine that started it all for me was Pinot Grigio. Others that I soon learned to like are Sauvignon Blanc, Voignioir and my favorite Riesling. If you are going to try a Riesling first, I suggest you look for "dry" or "semi-dry" as Rieslings can get quite sweet.|||You prefer Red wine? good choice - really, you should stick with it, I have often said loud and long to anyone that asks that white wine isn't white it's more yellowy, that's because it tastes like piss and why not make it look like it too.|||In general, white wines are not nearly as heavy as reds.





They can range from sweet (rieslings, icewines, etc..) to dry. Many are very tart.





Some are almost like drinking mineral water (spanish albarinos).





American Chardonnays are usually 'buttery and oaky'.





Two good, common whites are Chateau St Michelle's Chardonnay and Riesling (from Washington State). Not nearly as buttery and overpriced as many California whites.|||red wine is better with red meat and white wine is better with chicken and fish|||i drink red wine, help me sleep and relax,
