Subject: Re: What Does It Mean By Fruity In

Hi everybody,
I don't want to comment on the definitions of "dry", "sour", "bitter",
"fruity"and "sweet" because it may become a purly academical problem.
The last statement, however, is definitely wrong: I know very many first
class German winemakers and none of them has the slightest problem to
drink his own modern dry wine with pleasure! Try it in the Saar-valley
or even in Rheinhessen!
Cheers,
Werner.
