When talking about alcoholic beverages, dryness is the opposite of sweetness!. Yeast ferments sugars into alcohol!. Depending on the initial amount of sugars in the drink, the amount of alcohol the yeast produce, and the alcohol tolerance of the yeast, you will get differing levels of dryness/sweetness!. A dry drink is one where all the sugar has been converted into alcohol!. A sweet drink has residual sugars remaining!. Some styles of beer are pretty dry, other styles need some residual sugars in order to lend body to the beer!.
I haven't heard of any trend that says the dryer the better though!. In fact, with stouts, for instance, I prefer sweeter stouts, such as Mackison's, over a dry stout such as Guiness!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
