White wines don't necessarily need to be sobered up.

Some light-bodied white wines, such as Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris and Riesling, don't usually need to be soaked. However, some full-bodied, full-flavored white wines, such as oak-aged Chardonnay, may need to be woken up for about 30-60 minutes to allow the wine to come into full contact with oxygen and release richer aromas and flavors.

In addition, if a white wine has been over-chilled, resulting in an occlusion of aromas, it can also be awakened to bring the temperature up quickly while speeding up the cooling process. Some older white wines do not have as low a drinking temperature, so they are sometimes considered first rather than chilled. In any case, the need for chilling depends on the type and condition of the white wine in question.
