There is no official “best white wine brand.” White is a color word. Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Riesling, and Sauvignon Blanc are grapes or styles, not a crown. Typical US table lots sit near 12–14% Residual-sugar grams unused as a ranking. OIV g/L is optional, not TTB. Dessert wine is an alcohol band, not a flavor. A 5-ounce 12% pour is one NIAAA drink. No invented MSRP.
Related: sweet white wine, driest white wine, Pinot Grigio last.
