Leave the code space blank and we will code it, or create a new code if needed. Be sure to give accurate information about the composition of the wine, its ingredients, additives, etc as well as the percentage of residual sugar so that we can code it properly. Range of Sweetness based on Residual Sugar Please state Residual Sugar as a percentage of volume, not Grams per Liter or other measurement. Note: 1 gram per liter = .1 gram per 100ml = .1% RS Numbers given will be assumed to be percentage. If exact percentage is not known, an reasonably close estimate is acceptable. Incomplete or inaccurate information may result in your wine not being judged at best advantage so please enter this number carefully. Only numbers can be recorded, so do not write descriptions such as "dry", "none", "NA" etc. Dry = less than 0.6% (except Rieslings, less than 1%) Medium Dry = 0.6 - 1.49% (except Riesling which is 1% to 1.49%) Medium Sweet = 1.5 - 4.9% Sweet = 5.0% and higher |
