About Sauvignon blanc
Sauvignon Blanc is a crisp white wine grape variety originating from the Bordeaux region of France, though it is now cultivated worldwide, particularly in New Zealand, California, and Chile. Known for its citrus and green fruit aromas, Sauvignon Blanc is classified as a dry wine and is commonly paired with seafood, salads, and light pasta dishes. Nutritionally, wine contains no significant macronutrients but provides small amounts of potassium and antioxidants like resveratrol in lower quantities compared to red wines. A standard 5-ounce serving typically delivers around 120 calories and 1.5 grams of sugar, making it a moderate-calorie beverage when consumed in controlled portions.
Health Benefits
- Contains antioxidants like resveratrol, which can support heart health and reduce oxidative stress.
- Provides low levels of potassium, which is essential for maintaining proper nerve and muscle function.
- Moderate alcohol consumption may improve HDL (good) cholesterol levels, though overconsumption negates such benefits.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store Sauvignon Blanc in a cool, dark place at 45–55°F. After opening, refrigerate tightly sealed and consume within 3–5 days for best quality.
