Is chardonnay wine a sweet wine?

Chardonnay is generally not considered a sweet wine. It's typically made in a dry style, meaning it has little to no residual sugar.

However, there are exceptions:

* Oaked Chardonnay: These often have a slightly sweet, buttery flavor due to the use of oak barrels during fermentation.

* Sweet Chardonnay: Some producers make sweet versions of Chardonnay, though they are less common than dry styles.

* Ice Wine: Chardonnay is sometimes used to make ice wine, which is a very sweet, concentrated wine made from grapes frozen on the vine.

So, while most Chardonnays are dry, there are some exceptions that might be considered sweet. It's best to check the label or ask the wine shop for specific information about the sweetness level of a particular bottle.
