Rarely does someone’s love affair with beer begin with brews that are considered top-shelf. First beers are often old standbys that took up space in the family fridge and vacation cooler year after year. And sometimes, that affordable 6-pack is exactly what is needed for a backyard barbecue or tailgate. These cheaper beers don’t just carry a lighter price tag — they carry nostalgia and memories, and some of them are also just pretty damn good.

White wines tend to evoke feelings of refreshment and relaxation. Sure, popular white wine varieties like Pinot Grigio , Sauvignon Blanc , and Chardonnay tend to be zippy and light, which makes them ideal for balancing the saline-kissed sweetness of fresh seafood. But a healthy chunk of white wine’s magic is its vibe. Despite the rich, complex characteristics white wines express in aroma and on the palate, they’re often not perceived as austere or serious as red wines.
