The Maker Cabernet Sauvignon by female-led Sutro Wines is dry with 0g sugar, 137 calories, and 4.3 carbs per 5 oz.
So, it turns out you can have it all: delicious, small batch red wine, and dry, no residual sugar wine - all in one. There are many trendy, marketing-led wine brands labeling themselves as “clean”, implying others are.dirty?Ĭlean wines will often claim to be “all-natural,” “lab-tested,” “low carb,” and “ zero sugar,” but what they don’t tell you is that all dry wines from high quality producers fit that criteria, too.Īnd, dare we say it, the wine from “clean wine” companies is typically not up to par with quality wines from small producers that love their craft. While “clean-washing” is a term that is known in the beauty and hospitality industry, it’s a little bit newer to wine. Check out our limited edition Red Wine Mixed Pack for award-winning dry wines with zero grams of sugar per can.Įven more confusingly, just because we perceive a wine as “sweet”, does not necessarily mean it isn’t a dry wine! Ripe fruits and floral notes can create the perception of sweetness even if there is no residual sugar, especially if the wine doesn’t have the acidity or tannins to balance that fruitiness.Īnd what should you call that “drying” sensation in your mouth with some wines? Fun fact, that’s actually caused by tannins, which are naturally occurring compounds from grape seeds and skins. In a dry wine, fermentation has been allowed to complete fully, and there is no residual sugar left in the wine. Per our Maker wine terms glossary, grape juice becomes wine when all the natural sugars from the fruit are “eaten up” by yeast and converted to alcohol and C02 through a process called fermentation. Dry is often misused as a wine descriptor - it does not refer to a wine that is “drying.” A dry wine is the opposite of a sweet wine, it’s a wine with no residual sugar.
