In addition to water, alcohol, acids, flavors, glycerin, and phenols, wine almost always contains some residual sugar. Many wines are labeled as dry, semi-sweet or sweet based on their sugar content.
Here you can find out how high the residual sugar content is in different wines.
Whether red or white wine: dry wines rarely contain more than three grams of residual sugar per liter. For comparison: A liter of Coca-Cola contains more than 100 grams of sugar, and a liter of milk about 50 grams.
In the EU, a wine can be called dry if it has a maximum of four grams of residual sugar per liter. Exceptions are made for wines with a high acid content. For example, if a wine has a total acid content of seven grams, it even has nine grams of residual sugar in it – but this is the absolute maximum for dry wines.
Meanwhile, dry wines are often labeled dry or dry. Compared to Coca-Cola or milk, the sugar content in dry wines is many times lower.
With wines marked as half dry, medium dry, or half a second, you can clearly feel that the wine has more sugar than a dry variety. Twelve grams of residual sugar can only be exceeded if the acidity of the wine is high enough.
The EU allows a maximum of 18 grams of residual sugar per liter for such wines, provided that the total acid content is not more than ten grams of residual sugar. Even semi-dry wines still have a significantly lower sugar content than Coca-Cola or milk.
Anyone who thinks that sweet wines have a higher sugar content than other wines is right. Bordeaux’s famous Sauternes dessert wines can contain up to 150 grams of residual sugar per liter of wine, ie one and a half times as much as a liter of Coca-Cola.
If you want to keep your sugar consumption under control but still want a glass of wine, dry or semi-dry wines are recommended. Meanwhile, the sugar content in high acid wines is less noticeable than in low acid wines.
