For those who know their wines, going out for lux dinners is a nice affair, as you know what to expect. But if you’re not a wine connoisseur, it’s highly likely that you panic-order a bottle that you know nothing about. Sometimes you hit a home run, but in other moments, you wish you’d done some research.

The driest white wines include sauvignon blanc, muscadet, pinot gris, and chardonnay, and for the red, in the same category, you can find Sangiovese, tempranillo, cabernet sauvignon, and pinot noir. The sweetest white wines include ice wine, white port, and Moscato. Sweet red wines include tawny port, port, and Lambrusco dolce. Now, all you need to do is work on your pronunciation.
