Some the most common white wine grapes include Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, Pinot Grigio, Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc. Other popular white wines include Semillon, a favorite dessert wine, and Viognier, primarily grown in France and California. California is the primary state where white wines are made, but other important growing states include New York, Oregon and Washington. Lots of countries from all around the world produce and export wine, while others produce the wine but decide to keep it within their own country. We all know the most popular countries for producing wine, places such as Italy, Spain, France, New Zealand and Australia and other countries which have a warmer climate. Regardless of whether the wine is for sipping while you relaxing in the garden or trying to find the perfect wine to compliment your meal, everyone enjoys a bottle from the wine merchants.
The storage location should be vibration free and provide protection from light and UV rays. Temperatures should be stable and optimally range from between 42 to 58 degrees F. with red wines stored at the upper part of the range and white wines the lower. Ideal storage would be in an environment where relative humidity is at least 70 percent. Finally, do not store wines where their corks can pick up strange odors from a source like a stinky cheese or worse. Most of us in the United States do not have caves handy for this use. Manufacturer's today offer many different styles and sizes of wine coolers and wine refrigerators that can provide a stable temperature, provide for horizontal wine bottle storage, reduce UV rays and run with little or no vibration. Wine coolers are also made that can provide dual temperature zones to store different classes of wine at their respective optimum temperatures.
