Definition of semi-sweet wine
The term "semi-sweet" is regulated by law and clearly defined. Wines are classified as semi-sweet when they exceed the semidry wine threshold. This means that a wine with a residual sugar content of more than 18 g/l is to be declared as semi-sweet. The upper limit is 45 g/l. This means that the semi-sweet Mosel wines are always in this residual sugar range.
