Sweetness Code
| Code | Description and Types |
|---|---|
| 00 | 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.

Refined and irresistible. On the nose, a foray of black pepper and red currant are followed by a palate rich with blackberry and notes of tobacco and sagebrush. Complexity of flavour matched by an abundance of soft tannins. This beautiful and bold expression of Cabernet Sauvignon is a match for flavourful, juicy red meats like steak or lamb. We also love alongside aged cheddar and other sharp cheeses like Manchego or Provolone.
