Is Full Bodied Red Wine Sweet Or Dry?
Full-bodied red wine can be either sweet or dry depending on the style and grape variety. Generally, full-bodied red wines made from ripe grapes such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot tend to be dry, while those made from grape varieties such as Zinfandel can be sweeter. The sweetness of the wine also depends on the winemaking technique and the residual sugar left in the bottle after fermentation. It is important to check the label or taste the wine to determine whether it is sweet or dry.
