Does champagne have less sugar than red wine?

It's not quite that simple.

Here's a breakdown:

* Champagne is generally considered to be drier than red wine. This means it has less residual sugar.

* However, the sugar content can vary greatly within both types of wine.

* Red wines: Can range from very dry to very sweet, with "sweet" red wines being rarer.

* Champagne: Can be made in different styles:

* Brut: Dryest, typically <12 grams of sugar per liter

* Extra Brut: Even drier, <6 grams per liter

* Sec: "Dry", 17-35 grams per liter

* Demi-Sec: "Medium-dry", 33-50 grams per liter

* Doux: "Sweet", 50-100 grams per liter

So, a bottle of "Brut" champagne will definitely have less sugar than a sweet red wine, but a "Doux" champagne will be sweeter than most red wines.

Ultimately, it depends on the specific bottle of champagne and red wine you're comparing.
