What wine goes with mussels?

Mussels are briny and slightly sweet, and are usually cooked with white wine, shallots and herbs. Choose a fresh, dry white wine, ideally the same one you used in the pan. Muscadet from the Loire is the classic: light, taut and saline. Sauvignon Blanc goes with mussels with lots of herbs or garlic. Chablis is a little fuller and goes with mussels in a cream sauce. With mussels in curry, a more aromatic wine such as a dry Riesling works well.
