Which white wine to drink?

[Wafflethewonderdoggy]

I feel a bit ‘over’ Sauvignon blanc with its strong acidic taste, with that having been my white wine of choice for about a decade.
what’s next? What’s en vogue at the moment? I like dry, maybe a bit more mellow than Sauvignon blanc.
any favourites you’d recommend?
most commonly I buy at Lidl and normally go for £7-8 a bottle, but can buy elsewhere.
im the only adult in the house and normally have one bottle a week spread over the weekend.
I need a new favourite!

👆🏻👆🏻I second this. Sancerre is king but a nice Gavi is my go to

they do a really nice one in Lidl for about £8/9

came on to say this! or a muscadet.
i love picoul de pinet (probably not spelt correctly!)

My favourite white is uva non grata, gros manseng. Fab easy drinking, but yum wine

My vote goes for Vino Verde. Sancerre is nice,but that's a bit higher in price

Placemarking.

Always disliked SB.

Vinho Verde - Delish and affordable

Second the suggestion of Bread and Butter.
Also, although it’s the sav family, I do like a Sancerre

Sauvignon Blanc (Australia/Marlborough etc-not Chilean)
Gavi
Sancerre

are my favourites

I'm not a big white wine drinker but when I do I go for Picpoul

I've stuck with Chardonnay through thick and thin.
Can't bear Sauvignon Blanc as too floral. Most pubs only seem to sell that and Pinot Grigio ( yuck)
Other whites I like are
Picpoul
Muscadet
Rioja

Definitely a try a Gavi di Gavi

Please tell us more about your recommendations for the Austrian/German wines!

also, any specific recommendations for Aldi/Lidl brands?

I really like bread and butter but the price might be more than you are looking for.

I'm drinking Barefoot Buttery Chardonnay at the moment. It is oaked and really easy to drink.

@AffIt which supermarket chardonnays do you recommend please?

Sainsbury's do a nice Vouvray.

Albariño or Viognier for me

Place marking this for future reference!

I'm currently favouring sparkling English wine - Greyfriars Blanc de Blanc is gorgeous, and is made just up the road from me 😋

This is interesting - I thought everyone's favourite white was SB! I gave up drinking it a decade ago when I finally narrowed down my seemingly 'random' wine headaches to it - it gives me a headache before I even finish a glass so haven't touched it since! Was mostly New Zealand SB I was drinking.

There are so many other better whites though. I love Viognier as I already said and white Rioja is great too. Lots of good unoaky Chardonnays around and cannot beat an Alsace Gewürztraminer with Thai food!

This is a very oaky wine. I personally love it and everyone else I know hates it!

This is true yes - and had some lovely bottles of Bachuus particularly (not sparkling tho).

I usually choose Sauvignon blanc and have always said I hate Chardonnay but there’s a cheap Chardonnay at marks and Spencer’s that I absolutely loved. It’s just called ‘soft and tropical’ or something like that. Lovely.

@Peppapog263 i second the Picpoul! Haven’t tried a supermarket one but have it in a local bar and it’s delicious

I’m also a long time Marlborough SB lover but have also swerved towards a nice Chenin Blanc recently too

I’ve become really fond of the Portuguese whites in Lidl recently.
Also like Picpoul, pecorino and Sancerre (when flush).

I love a Gewürztraminer, pinot grigio , but I also like seriously dry wines. We've never had a poor 19 crimes

I quite like a Viognier - much lighter than Sav Blanc (although I do still love a Marlborough).
