What types of red wines are considered to be a dry wine?
Pinot Noir is almost always completely dry, and so is Cabernet Sauvignon. I actually answered a similar question earlier today, so I copied that answer over: If by dry you mean without any residual sugar, then the majority of red wines on the market are dry. Some wines seem sweet even though there is no sugar, due to a combination of alcohol, the fruit aromatics in the wine, and glycerine, as well as a sweet flavour from the oak the wine was aged in (especially brand new American oak). For this reason a number of wines from Australia, Spain, and California come across as jammy and sweet even though they are actually dry. If you’re looking for a very dry tasting wine, I would suggest a French Cabernet Sauvignon based wine such as those from Bordeaux’s left bank. Alternatively, any robust Italian red such as a Barolo or Barbaresco which are both high in acidity, tannin and alcohol, but tend not to be sweet or fruity. I hope that helps! Cheers!
