French Alsace wines are labeled with a sweetness rating.
Until 2021, regional regulations regulated how to label only two very sweet wines: Vendange Tardive (made from late-harvested grapes) and Selection de Grains Nobles (nobles, or nobles).
Sweet wine made from artificially selected fruits infected with expensive rot bacteria), and no requirements were made regarding the labeling of other grades of sweetness.
However, in 2021, Alsace region issued relevant regulations on the sweetness labeling of wine labels, stipulating that from 2021 vintage wine, except for late picked sweet wine and selected by grain, other Alsace wines should be labeled with sweetness grade, so that consumers can choose their favorite wines.
In addition, advertising and promotional materials, invoices and containers for wines in the region are required to indicate the sweetness of the wine.
Terms for sweetness levels that can appear on the Alsace wine label: Dry (Sec) : contains less than or equal to 4g sugar per liter;

Semi-sweet type (Moux) : the sugar content is between 12-45g/L;
Sweet type (Doux) : contains more than 45g/L sugar.
