Grape guide
Riesling at the grocery store.
Riesling is an aromatic white grape that keeps strong acidity as it ripens. It can make wine from fully dry to sweet, so the grape name alone does not tell you the sugar level.
We have written our take on 11 Riesling wines found on grocery shelves, each grounded in checked prices, dated shopper ratings and sourced facts.
Category guide
What to expect in the glass
Official category guides describe citrus, green apple and floral notes in younger wine, with stone fruit in riper examples. The high acidity can keep both dry and sweet versions feeling lively.
