The filter changes which existing style examples are displayed. Residual sugar is entered in g/L; optional total acidity must also be in g/L, expressed as tartaric acid. The result is a reference category and arithmetic conversion, not a prediction of taste.

Red wine sweetness chart
Choose red in the chart filter. The existing examples include dry Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Pinot Noir, and Lambrusco styles described as secco, amabile or dolce. These are broad style descriptions. A variety name does not establish a fixed sugar concentration for a particular bottle.
White wine sweetness chart
Choose white in the filter. The chart notes that Riesling and Chenin Blanc can occur across dry and sweet styles. The single placement in the grid is only an illustration; read the accompanying note and the producer’s information for the specific wine.

Residual sugar is a concentration
The following rows are unit-conversion examples for an assumed 150 mL volume. They are not measurements of named wines or a suggested serving size. The converter uses the same arithmetic.
| Input: g/L | Sugar in 150 mL: g | g per 100 mL (% w/v) |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0.0 | 0.00 |
| 4 | 0.6 | 0.40 |
| 12 | 1.8 | 1.20 |
| 18 | 2.7 | 1.80 |
| 45 | 6.8 | 4.50 |
Reference labels and taste
Select Still or Sparkling before reading the reference category. The existing converter identifies its nominal category source as Annex III of EU Regulation 2019/33, consolidated 18 January 2025. It does not model all tolerances or product-specific provisions. A sugar-to-acid ratio is a ratio, not a taste prediction; check the producer’s specification for the actual bottle.
Read the chart with its limits
Red and white styles can overlap in sweetness. Colour, grape name and a single position in this grid do not establish exact residual sugar. This page does not give health claims or advice on drinking wine.
Frequently asked questions
Which wines are the sweetest?
The existing grid groups several dessert and fortified styles at its sweeter end. These are broad reference placements; sweetness varies by wine and bottling.
Is Prosecco sweet?
Read the actual bottle’s sweetness label and residual sugar information. The sparkling setting compares label ranges; a wine name alone is not an exact sugar value.
Is Riesling sweet?
It can be anything from dry to very sweet — look for trocken (dry) or the label’s sweetness scale.
Are red wines sweet?
Red wines occur in different styles. The chart’s red filter gives broad examples, not a fixed value for every wine of that variety.
What does residual sugar mean?
Grape sugar left in the wine after fermentation, in grams per litre.
