Has anyone found a white wine that...

... is expensive/good quality enough not to give you such a bad hangover and if so would you mind sharing what it is with me please?

TIA

I like biodynamic and organic wines, they don’t have the sulphites that give you a hangover

waitrose does a good organic Marlborough Sauvignon blanc

are you asking about quality or quantity? 😀 I tend to find the most important variable is the age of the drinker, not the wine.

Mmm, you can get a hangover on expensive wine you know, depends how much you are drinking. I find white really acidic and usually drink red. I never get hangovers.

Depends on what you like! And your budget.

If I could spend £20 on a bottle this evening it would be a lightly oaked South African Chenin Blanc. You’d get really ripe, tropical fruit, lees, vanilla, creaminess.

Or a bright, floral Riesling. I love Riesling, and there’s a huuuuuge range of price available.

In general, if you want something fruity and more fresh/acidic go for north or cool - New Zealand, England, Loire, Northern Rhine etc.

Full-bodied and tropical, look for warmer countries - SA, Mediterranean, inexpensive California etc., Australia.

There’s a nice Californian wine called Bread and Butter if you like lots of oak and cream.

White Bordeaux is a nice middle ground, and inexpensive.

But mostly, the days of an actively nice wine for under a tenner are gone. Once you hit £15 you’re into the sort of territory that £10 got you 7 or 8 years ago. I think a lot of us have stuck to our old budgets, and the supermarkets have bought cheaper and cheaper wine to meet that demand so we’re getting worse and worse wi e for our money, when £15 will do you really well.

Thanks very much, super helpful

I like Chablis and Sancerre.

If you can find a Torrontés, that's a good bet.

But the best non-hangover wine is Vinho Verde - dirt cheap and usually only about 10%.
