In preparation for an upcoming nerd conference (this year’s is in DC), I’m nerding out. Here’s something I’m sure you’re all desperate for – an Austrian residual sugar chart!
| Austrian Term | English Translation | Amount of Residual Sugar |
| Trocken | Dry | Up to .9%…provided that the total acidity is no more than .2% less than the residual sugar content |
| Extra Trocken | Extra Dry | Up to .4% |
| Halbtrocken | Semi Dry | Up to 1.2% |
| Lieblich | “Charming” | Up to 4.5% |
| Süss | Sweet | Over 4.5% |
