Dry/Sweet Codes |
| The sweetness of a wine is the sensory perception created during tasting,
and though affected by such factors as residual sugar levels, it is not
an absolute, measurable factor. However, to guide you in determining the
relative sweetness for each wine variety, we've applied the following recognized
numbered scale to all of our listings: *Source: B.C. Liquor Distribution
