The difference between semi-sweet red wine and dry red wine

Semi-sweet red wine and dry red wine are different in raw materials, sugar content and alcohol content. The sugar consumption of dry red wine is more than 4g/L, red grapes are mostly used, and a small amount of white grapes are used, and the alcohol content does not exceed 16.5%. The sugar content of semi-sweet red wine is 12~45g/L, and white grape is the most common, with an alcohol content of 65438+.

1, sugar

nbsp？ When dry wine is fermented, the sugar will be completely consumed, leaving less sugar. In fact, dry wine here means not to be too sweet, and the sugar content is mostly below 4g/L. The sugar content of semi-sweet red wine is generally around 12~45g/L, but it will not feel too obvious sweetness, and the sweetness and sour taste are relatively balanced.

2. Raw materials

nbsp？ Wine is made from grapes, but different varieties of red wine use different grapes. Semi-sweet wine is mostly white wine, similar to semi-dry wine, with moderate sweetness and sour taste. Most dry wines will choose red grapes, while white wines are rare, with softer taste and heavier acidity.

3. Alcohol

The alcohol content of dry wine is usually 10 ~ 12, and the alcohol content will not exceed 16.5%. Fermentation will automatically stop at this concentration, and the accuracy of semi-sweet wine is generally between 12 ~ 15, which varies from grape to grape.
