Surely many of you are wondering what the so-called dry wine is. In this advice, you will find out everything you need to know about this type of wine.
Dry wine means wine that does not contain residual sugar. When winemakers make such wine, they allow the fermentation process to be fully completed, which allows the yeast to "suck up" all the sugar.
This phrase dry wine is one of the most used by both producers and consumers.
- As we have already said, dry wine is such wine in which there is no sugar left and this leads to the conclusion that it is not sweet;
- When grape juice goes through a fermentation process, the yeast or so-called yeasts "absorb" all the sugar in that juice;
- Other producers, on the other hand, interrupt the fermentation process, which prevents the yeast from sucking the sugar from the grape juice and this way the wine remains sweet;
- Europeans prefer dry wine much more than ordinary wine. In America, wines that have very little sweetness are consumed. Such wines are called semi-dry;
