If you prefer a sweeter style of German white wine look on the label for a low alcohol content of between 7-9%. Fermentation is stopped prematurely in order to produce a sweeter style and to balance out acidity. As a result you get a lower level of alcohol. The left over sugar is known as 'residual sugar'. On the other hand if you prefer a drier style look for an alcohol content of 11-12% - because it has been fermented for longer it will have less residual sugar. A tip for German wines is to look on the label for the word 'Trocken' which means dry or 'Halbtrocken' which denotes an off dry style. Kabinett also refers to anything dry. Towards the other end of the scale Spatlese (late harvest) & Auslese will point to a sweeter style.
