message: The image shows what looks like an arbitrarily chosen bottle of wine, while the caption does not explain how the image serves to illustrate the topic of the article. How sweet is the specific wine depicted compared to other wines? Richard K. Carson (talk) 03:21, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I added to the image caption. Château d'Yquem isn't exactly chosen on random if the subject is sweet wine... :-) Tomas e (talk) 17:46, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks, I appreciate that. The subject is not sweet wine but sweetness of wine, which suggests a scale that includes the lack of sweetness, so I wasn't sure. Richard K. Carson (talk) 07:44, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

message: At room temperature, sugar can be dissolved up to about 90g of sugar per 100g/100ml of water.  So together that makes 90g per [just under] 190ml, or a bit over 450g/L.
This means the Eczencia numbers of "at least 450g/L, in exceptional vintages 900g/L" seem very much improbable.  The other chemicals (mostly alcohol, plus some flavour-giving residues) of course can influence the solubility of sugar, but not to that extent.  
Dissolved sugar has a specific gravity a bit over that of water: bagged sugar weighs say 900g/L (varies among type from as low as 700g/L --- larger crystals = more empty space = lighter)
but in water the empty spaces around crystals disappear so in water it can be considered to have a density of say 1200g/L at most.
So if the sugar concentration numbers are in the article are (inexplicably) in "per liter of non-sugar" (i.e., the rest of the wine: 12% alcohol and 87% water), then it's still on the edge of solubility.  For low sugar numbers the two almost coincide (adding 1g of sugar to 1L of sugar-free wine gives 0.999g/L, 20g to 1L is 20g/1.020L = 19.6g/L and so forth -- they round off to the same g/L), for anything above 50g/L they noticeably diverge. If the numbers in the article are meant as written, then they're simply wrong, up to double the chemically possible concentrations.

message: The French interwiki goes to an absolutely wrong article: it's :fr:Dosage (vin), speaking about adding liquor to the champain. On the other hand, there is a (seemingly, correct for interwiki purposes) :fr:Vin liquoreux. Could someone resolve this iwiki conflict, please? --Burivykh (talk) 12:47, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
