sec is sweet, demi is medium, brut is dry.

sec is dry


millieu is medium


doux is sweet

word for word translation of sweet, dry meduim wine is


doux,sec, le milieu vin

I've never heard of milieu!!


Doux is sweet, brut is dry for champagne and cider and sec is dry in wine and demi-sec is medium.

* Brut - very dry
* Extra Sec - dry
* Sec - slightly sweet
* Demi-Sec - sweet
* Doux - very sweet
I'm glad we've cleared that up then!!??
Buy a bottle of each and see which you prefer.

It's the only way.
You have to be a bit careful with the term sec. It's used differently for still and sparkling wines. Have a look at this link here.

Forget all that - just drink Australian wine. Far better.
