This is overly-simplified and fairly inaccurate. Dry Rieslings exist and they can be VERY dry. Sav blanc (especially produced in hot aussie climates) can come out super fruity and on the sweeter side Sweeter red wines can come in many different varietals and simply putting both white and red on a binary scale is not really the best way to do it. Plus you have orange, green and rose wine which exists on a different spectrum all together, funky wild fermented wines which are so savoury bordering on vegetal which you can find in an abundance of different grapes. Long story short, bad wine graph, wine nerd mad.

Edit: putting pinot as objectively more dry than malbec????? Who wrote this????

Sorry to be a pedantic dick but this is totally wrong. For example Riesling is known to have some of the highest acid of any white wine and can be quite dry. On the opposite end muscadet can be very sweet. It completely depends on the climate, producer, residual sugars and winemaking procedures by the wine maker. Same goes for the reds. Aside from the dessert wines this is not accurate.

You know, honestly. The reason I love this subreddit isn't so much for the posted content, but the comments that point out how wrong and/or generic the submissions are.
