Chardonnay is a common grape variety that is used in white wines, including Chardonnays and Champagne. A grape variety that has a neutral flavor itself, it tends to exhibit tastes influenced by the environment. These influences included the soil in which the grape is grown, climate, and the wood of the barrels in which the wine is aged. Chardonnay is the most widely grown grape in world, and is grown in every major wine-growing region. This is mainly due to the ease in which the grape can be cultivated, and the grape’s ability to adapt to a wide range of environments. Because of the grape’s tendency to reflect its terroir, there is no universal taste or style that wine made from chardonnay grapes exhibit. The chardonnay grape is a very high-yielding grape variety, which is another reason it is so popular with vintners around the world. While it is possible to yield as much as 4.5 tons of chardonnay grapes per acre, there is a reduction in the quality of the grape at this production level. Good chardonnay and sparkling wines can be purchased for 20 to 40 pounds per bottle in the United Kingdom, and lesser quality wines made from chardonnay grapes can be found for less than 10 pounds per bottle.
