Sparkling Wine Sugar Levels
Adjusting Sparkling Wine Sugar Levels
Instead, the sugar is added right after disgorgement and before the cork is inserted. Sparkling wines are labeled based their sweetness. I have seen some variation, but in general the following terms are matched up to percentage of residual sugar in the wine.
- Extra Brut: 0%-.5%
- Brut: .5%-1.5%
- Extra Dry: 1.2%-2%
- Sec: 1.7%-3.5%
- Demi-Sec: 3.5%-5%
- Doux: over 5%
