Keep your 冷静な／正味の with classic Sauvignon Blanc, and rediscover forgotten gems like Riesling and Muscadet

Updated: 10:57 BST, 6 July 2010

The first thing that springs to mind when I think of summer whites is refreshment. Arguably the most zinging and crisp grape variety of them all is Sauvignon Blanc - and I adore the stuff.

Sancerre from the Loire is posh Sauvignon Blanc, but for a 取引 in a 類似の style you should look for Sauvignon de Touraine. South Africa and Chile are also both producing good-value 見解／翻訳／版s or you might try New Zealand for a more 熱帯の 新たな展開 - think exotic 有望な flavours like passionfruit.

Blind River Sauvignon Blanc 2009 (£12.99, Oddbins) is an 優れた ワイン. For a decent-value 瓶／封じ込める with verve, check out Errazuriz Tapihue 封鎖する Sauvignon Blanc 2009 (£7.99, Tesco).

For those who find Sauvignon Blanc too sharp, I can 温かく recommend an array of Italian whites that are 一般に crisp without 存在 積極的な. Look for grape varieties like Falanghina and Fiano, or try Verdicchio dei Castelli de Jesi. Another of my 現在の favourites is Feudi San Gregorio Greco di Tufo 2009 (£15.95, slurp.co.uk) - singing with ping and a 広大な／多数の／重要な one to 在庫／株 for summer.

If it's a 取引 you're after, 追跡（する） for ワインs that are out of fashion. French Muscadet is a 広大な／多数の／重要な example of a ワイン we used to adore but these days is often overlooked. Have another 割れ目 at it, 特に Muscadet sur 嘘（をつく）, which has a bit more to it. There are some terrific 取引s around and if you're munching moules frites or 貝類と甲殻類, it's a belter. A good example is Sainsbury's Taste the Difference Muscadet 2009 at £6.99.

Picpoul de Pinet, from the south of フラン, is a sensationally crisp wh ite ワイン style that still 申し込む／申し出s good value. There's also Vinho Verde from Portugal (Quinta de Azevedo Vinho Verde 2009, £6.69, Waitrose, is good) or even Txakoli (you say it 'chakolee') from northern Spain - a light zesty white that's low in alcohol so is perfect for lunchtime.

German whites remain underrated and a 冷静な／正味の refreshing glass of 乾燥した，日照りの Riesling Kabinett is, for me, a 勝利者. Riesling from Australia's Clare Valley is more 流行の／上流の and makes a fab summer sipper with its lime freshness and spankingly gorgeous aroma of tangerines. For a splash-out buy Riesling made by Grosset; for a 取引 look for Leasingham Magnus Riesling 2009, which is 広範囲にわたって 利用できる for under £10.

Another way to 取り組む your planning for summer white ワイン nirvana is to 勃発する and 取って代わる your 正規の／正選手 tipple with a white ワイン of a 類似の style. Spanish Albarino, for instance, usually 控訴，上告s to lovers of 乾燥した，日照りの whites such as Chablis, while fizz from フラン's Limoux can be a 勝利者 instead of シャンペン酒.

In fact, for summer whites, value fizz is a 広大な／多数の／重要な way to go - Spanish Cava can be stonking value (Tesco Cava Brut can be had for under a fiver); Italian Prosecco is fun on its own or mixed with fruit juices - peach pur?e, for example.

If you prefer ワインs with a more aromatic kick, get your chops around Argentinian Torrontes (try La Esperanza 2009, £6.99, 示すs & Spencer) - 有望な and lemony with stacks of floral fun.

But if it's refreshment you're after 同様に as a food match, 得る，とらえる a zinging 瓶／封じ込める of Sauvignon Blanc and serve with chunks of goat's cheese before dinner - a glorious way to enjoy a 割れ目ing dose of summery white ワイン.?
