Is a well aged (or not even a well aged) Sauternes a ‘white’ wine? Non! But the again it’s def not an ‘orange’ or ‘red’ wine.
However the lightest most watery high volume Pinot Grigio is def a white wine.
Generic is as it does.

Slava Ukraini! Героям слава! Glory to the hero’s!
An interesting Cab Sauv from the invaded country. Apparently the producer was a famous tennis player then went hung ho on wine.
A simple cab sauv here but pleasant enough without a great deal in the mid palate.

Many thanks Andy. Will check ‘em out. The wines I’m proposing are not in question. 😅. It’s just finding the right table.

Silly answer.. heroic grapes that grow on mountain slopes so steep they need crampons and oxygen masks.
These wines are raised at altitudes where winemakers have to fight off altitude sickness, rogue chamois and the occasional yodeler. 😉
