The Weekly Walla Walla Wine Word for Dummies is: Brut
No, Brut is not what "Hollywood Joe" Namath, former quarterback and Superbowl Champ, used to sell on TV commercials.
Brut (pronounced "broot") is a French term used in wine to mean "very dry" and not sweet. It is used to describe dry Champagnes, ciders, and other sparkling wines. So, with that said, what is the proper degree of "dry"?
Brut sparkling wine has less than 15 grams of sugar per litre. "Extra" Brut has 0-6 grams of sugar per litre.
Brut wines when perfectly chilled are typically clean, crisp and refreshing. "POP!"
