Difference Between Dry Red and Sweet Red How to distinguish between dry red and sweet red

First, the nature is different:

1.Sweet red wine:

It is a sweet wine made from red grape varieties. Sweet wine is not the same as sweet wine, this sweetness must be pure and natural, and it must come entirely from the sugar content of the grapes themselves, not from the sweetness of artificially added sugars.

2.Dry red wine:

It refers to red wine in which the sugar in the winemaking raw material (grape juice) is completely converted into alcohol after winemaking, and the residual sugar content is less than or equal to.

Second, the winemaking technology is different:

1.Dry red wine:

Brewing technology includes traditional extraction fermentation method, hot extraction fermentation method, carbon dioxide impregnation method, rotary fermentation tank method, continuous fermentation method, and cone-bottom tank fermentation method.

2.Sweet red wine:

Brewing technology includes artificial freezing method, artificial scattering method, and straw method.

1. There is a difference in taste between dry red and sweet red: sweet red wine has a higher sweetness than dry red wine. Dry red wines are more bitter and often served with food, while sweet red wines are easier to drink.

2. The difference between dry red and sweet red also lies in the color of red wine, we can distinguish according to the color of red wine, the color of red wine is usually divided into deep red, bright red, ruby red, etc., and now there are many rosé wines welcomed by many Ouyang, the red wine is more bright in color, pure in taste, and the dry red wine has a long follow-up time, with a strong grape aroma.

Because the dry red is fermented very thoroughly during the brewing process, there is not much sugar, and it is not easy to taste the sweetness during the tasting process, and the wine with less sugar content will be more supple during the drinking process. Most red wines are dry red, and there are very few dry types of white wines, and dry red wines generally contain about 4 grams of sugar per liter.

Red wine has dry red, semi-dry, semi-sweet and sweet red The difference between them is the difference in sugar content, dry red is very, very thorough in fermentation, the sugar content is relatively low, semi-dry red wine has more sugar content than dry red wine, so it belongs to the semi-sweet type, sweet red wine has high sugar content and is more sweet and greasy, and there are very few on the market. The taste of semi-sweet red wine is the best.

The taste of these red wines is different, the degree of aroma is different, the help to the body is different, the production process is different, the taste is different, and the color is different. I think semi-dry red wine tastes better because it smells cooler and has a more mellow taste.

The alcohol concentration is different, the sugar content is different, the taste is different, the means used are different, and the way of preservation is different. The sweet red taste is better because the sugar content of this wine is relatively high.

Specific differencesThere are two types of differences between dry red and sweet red:

1. The nature is different. Sweet red wine is a sweet wine made from red grape varieties, it is not the same as a sweet wine, this sweetness must be pure and natural, completely from the sugar content of the grapes themselves, not the sweetness of artificially added sugar. Dry red wine refers to red wine that is completely converted into alcohol with less than or equal residual sugar after the wine is made.

2. The winemaking technology is different. Sweet red wine winemaking techniques include artificial freezing method, artificial scattering method, and straw method. The winemaking techniques of dry red wine include traditional extraction fermentation, recuperative extraction fermentation, carbon dioxide maceration, rotary fermentation tank, continuous fermentation, and cone-bottom fermentation.

1. Sugar contentIn general, dry red wine has less than 4g l of sugar, while sweet red wine has more than 1 sugar content. Therefore, dry red wines have little sweetness, while sweet red wines have a sweet taste. Beginners generally choose sweet red as a starter wine.

2. The color of the red wineWe can distinguish according to the color of red wine, the color of red wine is usually divided into deep red, bright red, ruby red, etc., and now there are many rosé wines that are welcomed by many Ouyang, the red wine is more bright in color, pure in taste, and the dry red wine has a long follow-up time in the mouth, with a strong grape aroma.

3. TasteDry red has a higher degree of bitterness compared to semi-dry red. Because for dry red wines, its greatest characteristic is that it tastes particularly bitter. But as you taste the flavor slowly, you'll notice something different.

It is different from the sweet semi-sweet red wine, and it is also different from the strong white wine, which can be said to be very unique. Semi-dry red wines have a slightly lower taste than dry red wines.
