| Cabernet Sauvignon | Champagne and Sparkling Wines | Chardonnay |
| In the mouth, Cabernet can have liveliness and even a degree of richness, yet usually finishes with firm astringency. | Early success making sparkling wines in the French district of Champagne made its name famous, so much so that "champagne" has become generic for sparkling wine, to the eternal aggravation of the resident producers. | Rich is the word that best both describes Chardonnay and explains its popularity. |

| Merlot | Moet et Chandon Dom Perignon | Pinot Gris / Pinot Grigio |
| While its flavor profile is similar to Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot tends to be less distinctive and slightly more herbaceous overall in both aroma and taste. | Wine Enthusiast 95Champagne, France- "Big and fruity, a mouthful of ripeness. Then the texture and structure of this dense wine come through. It's as much wine as Champagne and is rich, the apple and fresh pear flavors vying with yeasty, tense crispness." | Pinot Gris / Pinot Grigio is usually delicately fragrant and mildly floral with lightly lemon-citrus flavors. |

| Pinot Noir | Riesling | Sauvignon Blanc |
| It is full-bodied and rich but not heavy, high in alcohol, yet neither acidic nor tannic, with substantial flavor despite its delicacy. | Riesling has a powerful and distinctive floral and apple-like aroma that frequently mixes in mineral elements from its vineyard source and is often described as "racy." | Sauvignon Blanc is usually quite distinctive and one of the easier varietal wines to recognize by its often sharp, aggressive smell. |

| Syrah | Zinfandel | |
| Syrah forms intense wines, with deep violet, nearly black color, chewy texture and richness, and often alcoholic strength, with aromas that tend to be more spicy than fruity. | Zinfandel is one red varietal that is probably best enjoyed in its youth, within three to five years of the vintage. | |
