Dry sec refers to a type of Champagne, also known as Extra-Sec, which has a slightly higher sugar level than brut Champagne. [[3]]
Here's a breakdown:
- Sec/Extra-Sec Champagne: Contains between 12 and 17 grams of sugar per liter. [[3]] This makes it sweeter than brut but less sweet than demi-sec.
- Brut Champagne: Is drier than sec.
- Demi-Sec Champagne: Contains between 32 and 50 grams of sugar per liter, making it sweeter than sec. [[3]]
| Champagne Type | Sugar Content (grams/liter) | Sweetness Level |
|---|---|---|
| Brut | Lower than Sec | Drier |
| Sec (Extra-Sec) | 12-17 | Slightly Sweet |
| Demi-Sec | 32-50 | Sweet |
