Dry wine is wine with few residual sugars: the amount sugars contained in a liter of wine. One Dry wine is simply a wine that simply has very little or no residual sugar contains, which means it does not sweet is.

When grape juice is converted into wine, alcohol is produced during the fermentation process because yeast sugar eat in the juice. With many wines, the winemaker stops the fermentation process before the yeast has time to sugar on to eten, making the wine a little sweet stays. Like a winemaker a little sugar leave behind, we call this residual sugar.

To a Dry wine instead, the winemaker allows the fermentation process to end completely, allowing the yeast to absorb all the yeast present sugar can consume. No sugar more, so no sugary sweetness; so the wine is dry. Both Red wine and White wine may not be dry are.
