Origin and history
White wine, with its origins tracing back to the ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia and Egypt, has been cherished for millennia. The Greeks and Romans refined the art of viticulture, spreading vineyards across Europe. By the Middle Ages, monasteries were pivotal in advancing winemaking techniques and knowledge. The cooler climates of regions like France’s Loire Valley and Germany’s Rhine Valley proved ideal for producing white wine’s signature crisp and refreshing qualities. Today, white wine is celebrated globally, encompassing a diverse range of styles from the dry, mineral-driven Chardonnay to the sweet, aromatic Riesling, each reflecting the unique terroir of its region.
