Sweetness Code
Code | Description and Types |
---|---|
0 | The very dry wine category includes many popular red wines (e.g. Bordeaux, Chianti, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir) and white wines (e.g. Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio). Sparkling wines labelled as ‘Brut’ will also be very dry on the palate. |
1 -2 | These wines have a hint of sweetness in the mouth and include many Pinot Gris, Riesling, Gewürztraminer as well as many California-style red blends. |
3 -7 | In this category, wines will have noticeable sweetness but not enough to be considered dessert wines. Many Moscato and German wines labelled with the terms “Spätlese or Kabinett” will be included. |
8 -10 | The very sweet category includes the famous dessert wines of the world like Sauternes, Tokaji Aszú, Port and Cream Sherries. |
The sweetness code is based on the amount of residual sugar left in the wine after the fermenting process is complete. The residual sugar level can range from 0 to more than 100 grams per litre! The chart below is the standard to which sweetness codes are assigned in BCLIQUOR.

Produced by skilfully combining continuous and discontinuous distillation and a double ageing process, first in barriques and then oak barrels. Colour: Characterised by a beautiful luminous coppery antique gold colour. Nose: Hints of tropical fruit, such as papaya and pineapple, blend with vanilla, cinnamon and cloves. Vanilla and crisp notes are combined with caramelised baked pear in a mix of refined flavours. Palate: Smooth, complex and rounded with hints of sweet spices, such as vanilla and cinnamon, in addition to strong notes of clove. A lingering aftertaste.
