Quite simply, unwooded Chard or "unoaked" is wine that has never seen the inside of an oak barrel. Typically it will be wine that is fermented in a stainless tank, as opposed to a wooden (oak) cask/barrel.
The oak typically helps to balance the tannins, among other things, and gives wine that "full mouth" feel with lots of mid-palate tastes.
Unoaked wines are great for people who claim to have an "allergy" to wine. It is the tannins that people typically react to, and those come from both the skins and stems of the grapes, but also from the oak barrels. If you don't "oak" a wine, the you have a lower tannin level which should make the wine bearable to drink for the aforementioned crowd.

What is the difference between mer lot zinfandel chardonnay pinot noir and etc?
I'm no expert but I have tried them all. Chardonnay is clear yellowish color and has a more dry taste, & to me is bitter, merlot is usually a dark red color and I think taste more smooth then chardonnay. White zinfindel & rose are both dry but not as much as chardonnay & can be a pink or blush color. As for how they are made that makes them different & what areas of the world produce them, I don't know, that's what I was trying to figure out when I googled this question

What is the difference between Chablis wine and Chardonnay wine if both use Chardonnay grapes?
If the bottle is from France, a Chablis is made of 100% chardonnay grapes grown from the Chablis region. If the bottle is from the USA, a Chardonnay must have at least 80% chardonnay grapes grown from anywhere. If the bottle says Chablis and is from the US, all bets are off. It could have nearly anything inside. Many US bottlers in the 1970's started using the term "Chablis" to mean "white wine."
