We discuss Residual Sugar AKA RS in wine, its merits, function and properties, explain Brix and the Oechsle scale, and loads of other fascinating stuff. Also I said something about Auslese indicating botrytis - that is incorrect. Interestingly enough, none of the tiers of the Pradikat system indicate botrytis, so in theory a TBA could be absent of any.
