What are the differences between "brut", "dry", "extra dry", etc. when talking CHAMPAGNE?!
Answers: I want to buy a bottle of champagne but I want it to be a little sweet and I don't know what the terms on the bottles mean. Please help me? Can you also reccommend a good brand and type that ladies/women like? They don't like it if its super dry or not sweet at all.
Those terms refers to the Champagne's sweetness.
Champagne's sweetness is varied by the amount of sugar (dosage) added after the second fermentation, this determines how sweet a Champagne will be. The label indicates the level of sweetness:
? Extra-Brut or Brut-Naturale 0-6 gram of sugar per liter (the driest of the dry, unsweetened)
? Brut less than 15 gram of sugar per liter (dry, this is the typical style of Champagne with no sweetness)
? Extra-Dry 12-20 gram of sugar per liter (still dry with a hint of sweetness or slightly sweet)
? Sec 17-35 gram of sugar per liter (medium sweet)
? Demi-Sec 33-55 gram of sugar per liter (sweet)
? Doux more than 55 gram of sugar per liter (Sweetest, very rare and is considered as dessert wine)
A woman normally like Sec or Demi-Sec (they have a sweet tooth). A excellent and expensive brand is Moet & Chandon Dom Perignon Champagne, but you could try other brands, ask in the store for advice.

the difrences are that u suck!!!~~~>
Champagnes are categorized as Extra Brut, Brut, Extra dry, Sec and Demi-secdepending on their sugar levels. An extra brut Champagne will be very dry, while a demi-sec is the sweeter option, with brut (dry), extra dry and sec lying somewhere in the middle with an off-dry to semi-sweet offering.
The amount of sugar (dosage) added after the second fermentation and aging also varies, from brut zéro or brut natural, where none is added, through brut, extra-dry, sec, demi-sec and doux. The most common is brut
You want to look for sec or demi-sec, as those are sweeter, brut has very little sugar added, through extra dry (brut and dry are the same)
Maybe typing "champagne" in your browser will help you out.
as others have mentioned the names you list indicate the level of sweetness in the bubbly. I am a woman, and personally do not like sweet bubbly. I prefer brut style. And i usually only drink american sparkling wine from Schramsberg (any kind from there all good), Mumm Napa (Cuvee M) and Gloria Ferrer (Blanc De Noirs).
the Mumm Cuvee M is fantastic and very afforable. Very peaches and cream style. Not too sweet, not too dry.
