German Rieslings vary in style -- some being very light in weight, some heavy, some being very sweet, some bone dry.
There are two very broad quality levels: QbA and QmP, with the latter being of generally higher quality. QmP wines are further subdivided into what is described as quality levels but really has to do with how much sugar the grapes contain before fermentation and, thus, how much alcohol and residual sugar the finished wine will have. The six levels, in increasing order of alcohol and/or sugar, are Kabinet, Spatlese, Auslese, Beerenauslese, Eiswein, and Trockenbeerenauslese.
