to ferment fully

Term for fermentation that is kept going until the sugar contained in the grape must has been almost entirely converted into alcohol and carbon dioxide. However, this is not 100% possible; a small amount of residual sugar remains in any case. Wines that have fermented through are called dry. See also under winemaking.

There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
