Someone posted this site a while back- it's fantastic!

If you put the name of your wine in you can see if it is listed and

if the sugar content is " 00 " which would indicate that it is very dry

of " 00 " and a type of wine (for example Austrailian Red Table wines)

and get a list of wines to look for at your local liquor store.
