In this section of Vinskolan, Sarah Lindstrand Mboge goes through how much sugar there is in different types of champagne.
– Good to know is that the warmer the climate, the more sugar in the grapes, she says in the clip.
Wines that market themselves as sugar-free are starting to become increasingly popular, according to Godare’s wine expert Sarah Lindstrand Mboge.
– It has become a new “usp” to sell wine on, just like cola zero, she says.
But since sugar is found naturally in grapes, virtually all wines – red, white and champagne – have some sugar in them.
– I do not think you should be afraid of sugar in wine, it’s good!
In the clip, she explains why grape sugar is added, and exactly how many pieces of sugar there are in the champagne varieties:
Why is there sugar in wine?
Sugar is found in grapes. During winemaking, the grape must ferments and the sugar is converted to alcohol. But not all sugar turns into alcohol, but some remains in the finished wine. In the wines that have the least sugar are less than three grams per liter.
– Without sugar, there is no wine. Sugar and yeast are the cornerstones for wine to become wine.
Which wines have the most sugar?
Sweet wines that are often drunk with desserts always have the most sugar in them.
– For desserts, you also need a wine that is at least as sweet because otherwise it will be unbalanced if you have a dry wine.
So much sugar does the wine contain
The sugar content of the wine is almost always on the label or in the information about the wine, regardless of where you buy it from.
