Sec is a classification for sparkling wine to indicate that the amount of residual sugar is between 17 and 32 g/L. The total scale used contains the classifications – from very dry to very sweet – Brut Nature, Extra Brut, Brut, Extra-Sec (or Extra-Dry), Sec (or Dry), Demi-Sec and Doux. ‘Sec’ therefore indicates that the sparkling wine is relatively sweet. See also ‘dosage’.
