Following the European Union standards, if a wine have less than 3grams/l of sugar it's called "bruto".

On a Spanish dictionary you can check that fino's antonym is bruto.

Thanks for your help Francis, is it possible for you to tell me which website you can find the information about the European Union standards,

Hang on a minute, everyone!

Yes, fino in Spanish generally means "fine, high quality". But, as applied to sherry fino defines a style or type of sherry, not a quality - it means specifically a dry, light-coloured sherry. The Spanish for "fine sherry" is therefore not "jerez fino" but "jerez de alta calidad" (literally "high-quality") or some such phrase.

When speaking of sherry the opposite of fino is not bruto but oloroso (which in ordinary Spanish means "scented" but in sherry-speak means a sweet, rich, dark sherry.)

This is true of champagne: the driest style of champagne is called "champagne brut". A French dictionary will tell you that brut means "raw, coarse", but that isn't what the word means on the label of a bottle of vintage Taittinger or Pol Roger!

Thank you, Syntien, for the information...

But, as I expected, someone would come to teach me French.

In addition, it would be worth reading the cited standards as they differentiate Champagne from the other wines.

As they also explain the differences in Sherry wines, it would be nice you check it referring to the question...

J'espère que t'as appris quelquechose ce matin, Mon Vieux . . . il est jamais trop tard, eh ?

En tout cas, j'ai appris pourquoi des fois tu t'énerves!

Many a tear has to fall
But it's all
In the game . . .

I know, I know <sigh>...

I tried, believe me I tried, but I couldn't find the right page in that sea of clauses. (Maybe it's because my brain freezes solid at the sight of that sort of "clause 773/LXVI note J" document.) Can you point me at the precise page I need?

I'm certainly not vain enough to think I can teach anyone French! but I know just a bit about wine.

My first post with the original question is exactly what i am looking for, i have no doubt that the question is worded correctly, and that is it a five-letter spanish word that i need. So please help me sort this one out, i am more confused than ever!! Thanks!!
