Does dry white wine have less sugar than sweet white wine?
and I suppose the same question for red wine too?
Answers: yes it does. Hence dry white wine has 66 cal per 100ml and sweet white wine has 94. yes, you can either ferment the must for longer using up all the sugar or start with a higher sugar level and ferment for the same time, it actually does taste different See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/sweetness_o... Yes, more of it has turned into inchohol (hic). Yes I think so. yes and fewer calories too!!! Yes, its does. Yes, and I should know because I'm an alcoholic diabetic Dry wine of any colour has less sugar than sweet as the sweetness of a wine is defined by the level of residual sugar (or RS) in the final liquid after the fermentation has ceased. The range of sugar in wine can vary from variety to variety, vintage to vintage and style to style, and RS is measured by grams per litre. A dry wine will contain approximately 1.5 to 3 g /L, whereas very sweet wines can contain over 400 g/L of sugar. Common amounts of sugar in popular wine varieties are:
Riesling 6-12 g/L of RS
Sauvignon Blanc 3-6 g/L of RS
Chardonnay 3-8 g/L of RS Yes, it has less fructose. White Dry wine has less than 4grams per litre and Sweet has more than 45grams per litre. Generally the sweeter and therefore the stronger the wine is the higher the sugar content.
