If you’re serving more than one kind of wine with the meal, there’s a general progression that works best for enjoyment.

Serve white wines before reds, light wines before heavy ones, and dry wines before sweet ones. Yes, there are always circumstances that defy the rules. Say you have a light-bodied red and a full-bodied white. Which rule do you break? It’s your choice. Or maybe you don’t like red wines at all. There’s nothing wrong with serving all whites.
