I really, really appreciate your lecture about how to distinguish sweetness in the wine. I learend exact standard! May I ask you something about sweetness? When I have tasted the wine from a very hot region: California; South East Australia, represented a low-cost wine region, I usually felt that wines are a little bit sweet. In that case, can I evaluate the sweetness as an off-dry? Actually I got WSET LV.3 and I read the sweetness part on the level 3 textbook,page.5. But I cannot sure myself 😢 Please I request your help politely. 🙏

Hi there! This is a good observation. I would suggest that with wines from the warmer regions you mention, you might be percieving higher alcohol levels as sugar. Alcohol at higher concentrations in wine can give the impression of sweetness, even when the wine style is dry.
