Residual sugar
Term commonly used in wine analysis referring to the content of unfermented sugar in a wine already bottled. Sometimes it is added back into the wine as in some sparkling wines. In other cases, the natural sugars are so high that the normal fermentation process is stopped as the yeast cannot continue to produce alcohol. And sometimes sulpher dioxide is added to inhibit the yeast so that the sugar content stays high.
