Question: are brut and champagne the same?
Answer: Champagne is made in a full spectrum of styles from incredibly dry to sweet dessert wine, labeled extra brut, brut, extra dry, sec, demi-sec, and doux (the sweetest). Brut means "dry, raw, unrefined" in French, and specifies a style of champagne that is very low in sugar—less than 12 grams per liter, to be exact.
