When you translate the french term, “demi sec” into english, it just means “half-dry.” So, if you pick up a bottle of regular dry wine with a sticker that says “demi sec,” you’ll be getting a less dry, and a bit sweeter wine.

A little bit. With regular wine, demi sec means that it has a bit of residual sugar left after the fermentation process, making it a tiny bit sweeter. With sparkling wine, it means they are usually slightly to medium sweet. TL:DR; demi sec sparkling wine is waaaaay sweeter than demi sec regular wine.

Basically, all wines range between a brut and a demi sec, so they couldn’t be more opposite. A wine with more sugar will slide towards the demi sec, while the most dry a wine can be is referred to as a “brut.” It’s very common to have a brut with dinner and a demi sec with desert.

Chilled, baby. It’s best to store any type of bubbly wine in a cool, dry place. Just before you’re ready to drink it, put your demi sec in an ice bucket, or toss it in the fridge. As it chills, think of what desert you’re going to pair with it. Pop open. Pour. Enjoy the sweetness of the royal demi sec.
