What is the best dry white wine for cooking UK?
When it comes to choosing a dry white wine for cooking in the UK, you'll want to select a wine that enhances the flavours of your dish without overpowering it. Here are some commonly used dry white wines for cooking in the UK:
- Sauvignon Blanc: Its crisp acidity and citrusy notes make Sauvignon Blanc a versatile choice for a wide range of dishes. It pairs especially well with seafood, poultry, and lighter sauces.

Which is a dry white wine, Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc?
Both Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc are popular dry white wines – each with its own with distinct characteristics.
Chardonnay is known for its versatility and can vary widely in flavour depending on factors like the region where it's produced and winemaking techniques. Chardonnay wines can range from crisp and citrusy to rich and buttery, often influenced by factors like oak aging.
On the other hand, Sauvignon Blanc is typically known for its high acidity and bright, zesty flavours. Common tasting notes for Sauvignon Blanc include citrus, green apple, grass, and sometimes herbal or mineral undertones.
In summary, both Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc can be dry white wines, but they have different flavour profiles. If you prefer a wine with a broader range of possible flavours, you might enjoy Chardonnay. If you lean towards a wine with high acidity and vibrant citrus notes, Sauvignon Blanc might be more to your liking.
Which is drier, Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc?

Sauvignon Blanc is typically known for its crisp acidity and bright, zesty flavours, and it is commonly vinified in a dry style. Pinot Grigio, too, is generally made in a dry style, but it might have a slightly rounder or fuller mouthfeel compared to Sauvignon Blanc.
