Is pinot noir a dry or sweet wine?

While there are some exceptions, most Pinot Noirs have a low residual sugar content, meaning they are not sweet.

However, there can be variations depending on the region and the winemaker's style:

* Dry Pinot Noirs: These are the most common and have a crisp, tart, and earthy flavor.

* Off-dry Pinot Noirs: Some producers might add a little bit of residual sugar, resulting in a slightly sweeter wine.

* Sweet Pinot Noirs: These are rare, but some winemakers might create a sweet Pinot Noir, often in a dessert-style wine.

So, while Pinot Noir is generally considered a dry wine, it's always best to check the specific bottle you're buying to determine its sweetness level.
