Please explain how wine (a liquid) can be dry? I've never had the courage to ask what dry means....

If a wine is low in sugars, it will be 'dry' and you'll know what it means the instant you drink it. It can be almost like chokecherries (does anyone else know what I mean), leaving your mouth, well, dry. The sugar, even at low amounts, while it doesn't necessarily make a wine what anyone would call sweet can help balance that out. Once you get into blush wines and white wines, then they get on the sweet 'juicy' side.

My drink has always been (before I stopped drinking) Scotch. It is very addictive and when I began Scotch I didn't enjoy anything else - even wine.

When it's not dry, it's sweeter, the lower the number the dryer it is.

MMMMMM! Ceasars. They are yummy but more than two will start to affect my colon, so I always get the small Clamato. I like 'em hot too! Lots of Whorchetershire and Tobasco.:cool:

Nothing worse then a burning ring of fire induced by a Caeser right? lol

My husband and I are non drinkers, but in the last year or so, I have gone into the liquor store
to buy a nice wine to have sometime during the evening, as I have heard on many occasions that
it is a nice drink to maintain good health, and now that we are 'h hmm', a little older, we are doing that.
The above posts lead me to believe there are some 'knowledgeable' posters who can help me.
I need some 'names' of nice wines to try, as I don't have a clue. Not too dry please.
I like dry wines so I'm not of much help. Sorry. I like Australian Shirazes (red) and German Rieslings (white), though

I have been known to drink a bit,sometimes a bit too much. Bartended for 6 years,great job! Bacardi's makes a rum,"Bacardi's Black," that is quite flavorful and reasonably priced. I reccommend it to anyone that would like to drink a rum straight up.
I like Bacardi's Superior Gold better. :) Usually drink that if I can't have Appleton's, Cruzan, or Neissen.

Yeah, I know. Used to take them, squish them with my fingers, suck down the juice and then put the chocolates back in the tray when I was a kid. :D
Now, I'm more sociable and eat the whole thing.
You mean the French right? :-?
