Certain words are used to describe various wines, and one of these words is "dry." These words are very inexact, and subjective. A gourmet will take a small taste of a wine, and 'roll' it around on his tongue or perhaps the top of his throat - and if it has a somewhat "dry" or tart taste, he will pronounce it dry. Dry wines go well with most foods, and are in contrast to "sweet" or "fruity" wine (which seem to overpower the taste of a particular food).

Yes, although this does not refer to the amount of liquid in the wine (all wines flow pretty much like water). In terms of wine tasting, "dry" refers to a wine that is less sweet; it contrasts with terms such as "dessert wine" which is sweeter.

It is a measure of the suger in the wine. Extra dry is a little sweeter then Brut, although it is still a dry wine.

Dry means it's not sweet.

White means it comes from white grapes, like chardonnay, sauvignon blanc, and riesling.
