Dry wine or sweet wine?

That is a frequent topic: Dry or sweet?
Fashions change here.
Once upon a time the feeling was: The drier the better!
Then: The sweeter the better!
Then again: The drier the better!

The dry-fraction went so far as to say: Wine can never be sweet! If wine is sweet, it isn't wine any more!
And it was hinted, that those who like their wine sweet, do not really know what wine is.
I suspect that because of this some people did not dare to buy sweet wine, for fear of being taken for know-nothings.

I confess that for some time I was also of the opinion that the dry wine is better than the sweet wine.
Now I say: It all depends.

I like my Gewürztraminer sweetisch. Not sugary-sweet, but spicy-sweet.
So spicy that I do not have the feeling that I am drinking sugar water, but that I am drinking a Gewürztraminer with some sweetness.

There is an old saying: Life is too short to drink bad wine!
True!
And I like to add: Life is too short to drink sour Gewürztraminer!
