Which wine has less sugar - Merlot or cabernet?

Generally, both Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon are considered dry red wines, but Cabernet Sauvignon tends to have slightly less residual sugar compared to Merlot. This is because Cabernet grapes typically have a thicker skin and higher tannin content, which can result in less sugar remaining after fermentation. However, the exact sugar content can vary based on the winemaking process and the specific wine producer. Always check the label for precise information if sugar content is a concern.
