Residual sugar

Residual sugar is sugar left in wine after fermentation.

How it works

How sweet it tastes also depends on acidity. A wine can smell strongly of peach and still taste dry: aroma and sweetness are different properties.

How to use this when choosing

For little sweetness, look for an appropriate dryness description. Do not rely only on the word fruity or a list of fruit aromas.
