Dry. Used of wines, especially champagne.
[French, from Old French, from Latin siccus.]
[SEHK] This French word literally means "dry" and when used to describe still (nonbubbly) wines, indicates that the wine has little if any residual sugar left after fermentation, meaning the wine is dry (not sweet). In sparkling wines such as champagne, however, the word takes on quite another meaning: "sec" indicates a relatively sweet wine (demi-sec even sweeter), while the driest sparkling wines are referred to as brut.
‘Dry’: an indication that a note or chord should be struck and released abruptly.
An abbreviation for the Securities and Exchange Commission.
[SEHK] This French word literally means "dry" which in the wine world means "not sweet." When used to describe still (non-sparkling) wines, sec indicates that the wine has little if any residual sugar left after fermentation. In sparkling wines like champagne however, the word takes on quite another meaning: sec indicates a relatively sweet wine, whereas demi-sec is even sweeter. Drier sparkling wines are referred to as brut and the very driest as Extra Brut or Brut Nature.
