Which sequence lists Champagne residual sugar terms from driest to sweetest?

• A. Brut Zero, Brut, Extra Dry, Sec, Demi Sec, Doux
• B. Brut Zero, Brut, Extra Dry, Sec, Demi Sec, Doux
• C. Brut Zero, Brut, Sec, Extra Dry, Demi Sec, Doux
• D. Brut Zero, Brut, Extra Dry, Doux, Sec, Demi Sec

Answer: (B)

In Champagne, labels reflect residual sugar, so the list goes from the driest to the sweetest as sugar content increases. The standard progression is Brut Zero (Brut Nature) next to Extra Brut, then Brut, followed by Extra Dry, Sec, Demi-Sec, and finally Doux. This is because each step represents a higher sugar level, which makes the wine taste sweeter. Knowing the typical sugar ranges helps you decode the order: Brut Zero is essentially zero sugar, Extra Brut has a touch more, Brut is dry but with a bit more sugar, Extra Dry is sweeter still, and so on up to Doux.
