off-dry
"Off-dry" refers to a type of wine that has a slight sweetness, but is not fully sweet. This means that while it has some residual sugar, it is balanced by acidity, making it more refreshing than a sweet wine. Off-dry wines can be found in various styles, including white wine, rosé, and sparkling wine.
Common examples of off-dry wines include Riesling, Gewürztraminer, and Moscato. These wines are often enjoyed with food, as their subtle sweetness can complement spicy or savory dishes. Off-dry wines are popular choices for those who prefer a hint of sweetness without overwhelming sugariness.
