What does “dry” mean when wine is dry red

Wines often have the words “dry red” or “dry white” on the back label. The “dry” refers to the amount of residual sugar in the wine.

When making wine, yeast converts the sugars in the grapes into alcohol.

In most cases, however, the transformation is not complete, so some Sugar remains in the wine, called Residual Sugar.

Wines can be classified as dry, semi-dry, semi-sweet and sweet according to the amount of residual sugar in the wine from low to high.

At present, most wines on the market are dry.
