When making dry red, no grape skins and kernels are filtered. Wait until the grape juice is brewed before filtering. In this way, during the brewing process, the color of the grape skin dissolves into the wine and becomes a red wine.
Although the amount of residual sugar is not indicated on the label, we can also judge whether it is dry red by its alcohol content. However, some dry reds will also have a sweeter texture, which may be brought about by its rich fruity taste.
