Sugar 20gr/litre, what does that mean

[Morten]

The winebottle label says:
"sugar 20gr/litre"

Is that the amount of sugar pr litre added during fermentation?

That's the residual sugar. If the must was chaptalized, it would not be mentioned on the label.

I believe it is referring to the finished wine. 20g/litre should be 2% residual sugar or an off dry wine.
