In German wine labeling, which term indicates a dry wine with very low sugar, typically up to 9 g/L?

• A. Halbtrocken
• B. Trocken
• C. Feinherb
• D. Lieblich

Answer: (B)

In German wine labeling, dryness is defined by residual sugar, and the label that denotes a dry wine with very low sugar (typically up to about 9 g/L) is the one that simply says Trocken. This category is the standard for a crisp, dry style with minimal sweetness, giving a clean, palate-drying finish. The other terms indicate progressively sweeter styles: Halbtrocken signals off-dry with more sugar, Feinherb is moderately sweet, and Lieblich is clearly sweet. So the best fit for a dry wine with very low sugar is Trocken.
