“It’s hard to pinpoint when popular opinion declared that good wines must be dry, but it couldn’t be farther from the truth. Whether it was the recent rosé revival that taught us to value dryness in response to the bulk blush wine of a bygone era, or bad experiences with cheap, sweet alcohol, most aficionados today choose dry wines.
However, sweet wines are made from some of the most regulated, carefully observed grapes, and they represent terroir and tradition as fiercely as any dry offering.”
