A few terms you may find on bottles of white wine: Pinot d'Anjou, Savennieres, Anjou Blanc, Montlouis, Saumur, Steen, Vouvray, Pineau de la Loire, and Cremant de Loire.

The wine inside such bottles is generally slightly sweet but usually has excellent acidity, so it goes nicely with lighter-weight foods and is not typically very expensive.
