Wines for white meat dishes is a type of wine that is ideally paired with dishes such as chicken, turkey, partridge, quail, and veal. It is usually a dry white wine or a light red wine, such as Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Pinot Noir, Gamay or Syrah that can accompany the flavors and aromas of chicken dishes. It is important to choose a wine for chicken dishes that has a good balance of acidity, sugar and alcohol to maximize the taste of the dishes. Dry white wines are particularly popular with creamed chicken dishes and light red wines with grilled or sauced chicken dishes.
