Residual sugar is for Dummies? The Sweet Wine Lovers' Manifesto

 Should you feel ashamed if you prefer some sweetness in your wines? No, says American Tim Hanni, Master of Wine. He has written a book on the subject, “The Sweet Wine Lovers’ Manifesto”. In the book, he complains about what he calls “the dry wine fashionistas who dismiss sweet wine lovers as ‘beginners’ who will learn to like drier, more stylish wines”. These wine snobs, he believes, should realize that people experience acidity and tannins in different ways.
