Red and white wine are the most popular types. Dry white wine has only a small amount of remaining sugar in it, yet sometimes has a habit of tasting sweet when in fact it is not.

They are all characterized by their lightness, delicacy of flavor and by their light straw color. As well as being produced in Europe, these white wines are also produced in the United States in the coast counties of California. In the eastern US, dry white wines are made from several varieties of grapes developed in the Finger Lakes District of New York State, and Ohio and New Jersey also make them. http://advice-and.info/Food-and-Drink/63086_The_Light_Delicacy_Of_A_Dry_White_Wine.html Fri, 05 Oct 2007 21:52:07 GMT Flavored white teas are becoming increasingly popular.
