...that describing wine as 'dry' makes you sound like a synesthesiac?

Has it ever occurred to you that associating negative connotations to any male trait makes you sound like a rabid, old, embittered harridan?
What a wonderful world it'd be for all to share your monotonous, primal female instinct sans refined sentiment.

@OP
The terms- dry, sweet and semi-dry-refer to a level of sweetness or residual sugar in a wine. A wine is considered “dry” when all of the grape sugar is converted to alcohol during fermentation, while a sweet wine still has some residual sugar. “Semi-dry” or “off dry” wines have a mild or softly perceptible sweetness.
These terms can get confusing quickly, because sweetness sensitivity varies from person to person, and because sometimes a wine can be technically dry but give the impression of being sweet because the grapes were very ripe or the oak barrels imparted a sense of sweetness-like a caramel or cream soda note-to the wine. “Sweet” also seems to be a strange trigger word among people talking about wine-some people say they don’t like sweet wines because they think liking sweet wines would make them look like novices. That is nonsense-plenty of world-class wines have residual sugar in them.

neurological phenomenon in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway. People who report such experiences are known as synesthetes.
