The Social Web Wine Word of the Week – Dry

In short dry equals little to no residual sugar in the wine. Sweet wines are just the opposite. A sweet wine is a wine that retains some of the residual sugar from the grapes during fermentation. The more sugar that is left over in the wine, the sweeter the wine will be.
