White wines are graded on a scale of 1 to 9 where 1 is very dry and 9 is lusciously sweet. This is not a definitive analysis, but a measure of the relationship between alcohol and sugar.

Red wines are graded on a scale of A to E where A is very light and E is very full bodied. This is a perceived measure of style based on a combination of alcohol, tannin and fruit concentration.
