This chart makes no sense. Residual sugar and perceptible sweetness varies within varietals. The left column varies more by style (Old World vs. New World), body, etc., than sweetness. And then having dessert wines on right but not left? What?

This chart is quite wrong

The whole left column.

It’s a bit disingenuous to put zin as the sweetest for reds but then white port on the right. It makes the scales capricious.

Riesling

Dryer whites; sweeter reds.

(Or more specifically, anything but syrah or oaky chardonnay for me.)

It’s missing all my favorite reds! Mainly wines made from Nebbiolo and sangiovese grapes. Also, I don’t think Zinfandel is sweet, especially if the white sweet wine is a port!

I haven’t tried much but I like cabs and zins for sure. Blends that are zin heavy. Moscato is alright but I’m more a fan of the reds. I didn’t think zins are that sweet tbh.

Got Costco’s advent wine calendar. Some interesting ones from Hungary, Georgia, Luxembourg, etc…I’m an obscure varietal geek so hell yeah

Big fan of this one. Not super bold. More velvety. Subtle leathery taste, hints of vanilla! I picked up a half case for 120, or $20 a bottle! I may actually buy more. 8/10 for price and taste. Very elegant.

I need advice from the collective. It seems like there is a trend to sell wine in unique bottles. The only problem with this, those bottles will not fit into my wine fridge. Has anyone transferred wine to standard bottles and are you concerned about the wine one it hits the air? I’ve looked at vacuum stoppers but not sure if this is a good idea or not.
