A sparkling wine labeled Brut indicates:

Explanation:
Brut signals dryness in a sparkling wine, meaning there is very little residual sugar left after fermentation. This is why it’s described as Brut—the wine tastes dry and crisp rather than sweet. It’s a common style in Champagne and other sparkling wines, and the designation refers to sweetness, not alcohol content or grape color. So a Brut sparkling wine can be made from white grapes or from red grapes (like Pinot Noir) and will still be described as dry. Other levels of sweetness exist (Extra Brut, Extra Dry, Sec, Demi-Sec, Doux), but Brut specifically means the wine is on the dry, low-sugar side.
