English white wine v French white wine: Which tastes better? 12th May 2022, 7pm BST British Summer Time London (3pm EDT in USA), £14 per household Sparkling Britfizz grabs all the headlines but what about the cheaper everyday stuff that is English white wine. Available in all of our supermarkets, from Aldi to Waitrose and all the others in-between, English white is fun, fresh and fruity – but does it need some help from our store cupboard? Plus does it match up to similar French white wines like Sauvignon Blanc? Let’s find out. Compare and contrast wines in a fun and informal way. Open to all where ever you are in the world, these monthly online wine tastings allow anyone with an interest in wine to taste and learn in a practical, fun and informal way with Paula from WineUncorked. You don’t need to have been on a wine tasting or wine course before or have any knowledge of wine. You'll need to get the wines as these aren't included in the cost. What wines to get:

• One bottle of English white wine that isn’t a sparkling – it can be of any grape variety or name
• One bottle of French white wine made with the Sauvignon Blanc grape variety – look on the label for Sauvignon Blanc or Sancerre

You’ll also need:

• One bottle of elderflower cordial or some sugar dissolved in water

To make the sugar dissolved in water, measure about 3 teaspoons of sugar into a cup and add boiling water. Stir and let it go cold. The amount of sugar and water doesn’t need to be that precise, just dissolve some and bring it along. Purchase the wines from any wine retailer or supermarket that is convenient to you.
