Is pinot noir wine dry?
Chardonnay is a French grape used for dry white premium table
(dinner) wines worldwide. Chardonnay is also grown and bottled in
California.. Port is a fortified, sweet, desert wine.. Port is not
Chardonnay. Port and sherry have sugar added during fermentation,
therefore having both higher alcohol content and higher sugar
contant than, for example Charonnay or Bordeaux. Ports and dry
wines each have their rarities, and devotees. Correction, sugar is
not added to Port during production, it gets it's sweetness from
the grapes. Port is made by adding grape spirit to wine during
fermentation, this raises the alcohol level and kills the yeast,
because the wine has not been fully fermented there is alot of
residual sugar and so the end product is sweet.
