Homonym: Trocken (Dry)
"Trocken" is a German word that translates to "dry" in English. It is commonly used to describe wines that have little to no residual sugar, resulting in a crisp and less sweet taste. In the context of wine, a Trocken designation indicates that the wine has undergone fermentation until most of the sugar has been converted to alcohol.
In addition to wine, "trocken" can refer to various other contexts, such as weather conditions or food. For example, trocken weather means low humidity and little precipitation, while trocken foods, like dried fruits, have had moisture removed to enhance preservation and flavor.
