  1. 1

    Sauvignon Blanc

    This zesty and vibrant white is a fantastic choice, often coming in with less than 1 gram of sugar per serving. It's known for its bright acidity and refreshing citrus notes, making it a perfect dry wine.
  2. 2

    Pinot Grigio

    Light, crisp, and incredibly refreshing, a dry Pinot Grigio typically has less than a gram of sugar per five-ounce glass. It's fantastic with seafood or just on its own on a warm evening.
  3. 3

    Unoaked Chardonnay

    If you love Chardonnay but want to avoid the buttery richness that can sometimes imply sweetness, go for an unoaked style. These dry versions often have 1-2 grams of sugar per glass and are beautifully crisp.
  4. 4

    Albariño

    From Spain and Portugal, Albariño is a truly aromatic gem with high acidity and naturally moderate sugar levels. You'll often find delightful notes of lemon, lime, and peach in this crisp, dry wine.
  5. 5

    Grüner Veltliner

    Austria's star white grape, Grüner Veltliner is almost always bone dry, delivering a unique peppery spice along with vibrant green fruit and citrus. Many examples have less than 1 gram of sugar per liter!

    Dry Riesling (Trocken)

    While Riesling can be very sweet, look for 'Trocken' on the label to ensure a bone-dry style. These often have high acidity that makes any residual sugar (typically less than 9 g/L) barely noticeable, resulting in a crisp, mineral wine.
