Description

Dry white wine is a type of wine made from white grapes, characterized by its low residual sugar content, which gives it a fresh, slightly acidic taste without perceptible sweetness. It is a highly valued ingredient in cooking for its ability to enhance flavors and add a subtle, aromatic touch to various dishes, from sauces and seafood to stews and poultry.

Dry white wine originates primarily from wine-growing regions in Europe, such as France (especially in areas like Burgundy and the Loire Valley), Italy, and Spain, although today it is produced almost all over the world. Its popularity in cooking lies in its versatility and how it interacts with ingredients, helping to deglaze pans, enhance flavors, and balance fats.

Regarding its properties, in addition to its flavor contribution, dry white wine contains natural antioxidants from the grape and acts as an aroma enhancer in cooking. It is important to cook it properly to evaporate the alcohol, allowing it to integrate into the preparation without leaving a strong alcoholic taste.

In different Hispanic American countries, dry white wine may be referred to by similar or common synonyms such as white cooking wine, dry wine, or simply white wine when it is specified that it is not sweet. However, it does not have an exact synonym that widely changes its name, as it is a fairly standardized term within the culinary field.
