Classification of Wine

General wines can be categorized into four types, dry, semi-dry, semi-sweet and sweet.

1. Dry: wines with a sugar content of less than or equal to 4g/l, or up to 9.0g/l when the difference between the total sugar and the total acid (in terms of tartaric acid, the same below) is less than or equal to 2.0g/l. This type is sometimes labeled as "seco".

2. Semi-dry: wines with a sugar content of between 4 and 12g/l, or up to 18.0g/l when the difference between total sugar and total acid is less than or equal to 2.0g/l. This type is sometimes labeled as "semi-seco".

3. Semi-Sweet: wines with a sugar content of up to 45g/l; it should be noted that there is no semi-sweet type for high-sparkling wines.

4. Sweet: wines containing more than 45g/l of sugar.

Origin of Wine

Wine appeared in southern France between about 1000 and 500 BC, and then it began to spread throughout much of the Mediterranean basin. In the early days, the drink was regarded as a noble beverage for the nobility and an offering to honor Bacchus, the god of wine.

Red wine also represents Jesus Christ in the hearts of Christians all over the world, which has contributed to the popularization of red wine, making it possible for ordinary people to have the right to drink sweet red wine.
