Dry wines are those that have little to no sugar content. A number of popular wines are considered "dry" wines. This is determined primarily by its taste, not the body or color of the wine.
Types
Dry wines run the gamut through all the major types of wines, including red, white and rose.
Classifications
Many popular dry wines include Bordeaux, Burgundies, Cabernet Sauvignons, Chardonnays, Merlots, Pinot Noirs and Sauvignon Blancs.
Food
Dry wines are popularly referred to as table wines. The reason behind this is that dry wines go well with most foods.
Sugar Content
Although dry wines taste less sweet than other wines, there can still be trace amounts of sugar once the wine has finished fermenting.
Alcohol
Because the sugar in a dry wine has been allowed to ferment along with the yeast, it turns into alcohol.
Serving Dry Wine
Because there are so many types of dry wines, it is best to taste a wine along with a main dish before serving to find what suits the meal best.
