Definição

Dry in French, but confusingly used for off-dry sparkling wine.

Em Profundidade

In still wine, sec means dry. In Champagne, sec (17-32 g/L sugar) is actually off-dry to sweet. This contradiction arose historically when sweeter styles dominated. The modern preference for drier Champagne makes the terminology misleading. For truly dry sparkling, look for Brut, Extra Brut, or Brut Nature.
