medium dry wine
  • vein, mille jääksuhkrusisaldus ületab kuiva veini puhul lubatud piirmäära, kuid ei ületa 12 g/l või happesuse ja jääksuhkru kindla suhte korral 18 g/l
  • wine with a residual sugar content exceeding the limit for dry wine but not exceeding 12 g/L, or up to 18 g/L provided that the total acidity, expressed as grams of tartaric acid per litre, is not more than 10 g/L lower than the residual sugar content
poolkuiv vein
Usage examples
  • Kui kestad veini sees ei ligune, ei moodustu veini sisse ka tanniine. Seetõttu ei saa klassifitseerida valgeid veine nii nagu punaseid veine täidlusastme põhjal, vaid seda tehakse magususe astme põhjal: kuivad, poolkuivad, poolmagusad ja magusad. Valge veini magusus sõltub viinamarjade suhkrust, millest suur osa muutub veini käärimise ajal alkoholiks. Veini alles jäävat suhkrut nimetatakse jääksuhkruks. Mida rohkem seda on, seda magusam vein on.
medium dry wine
Usage examples
  • Off-dry means a wine with a little sugar left, enough to taste as a soft roundness but not enough to call sweet. It is not a legal term. The closest legal band is the EU's medium dry: up to 12 g/L, or 18 g/L when acidity is high. Wine Spectator sums it up: "there's a bit of leftover sugar."
semi-dry wine
Usage examples
  • Here is an overview of wines that are usually made dry in Austria. At this point, however, it must be emphasised that each of these grape varieties can just as well be semi-dry or sweet.
