According to wine experts, the answer to "Is there more sugar in champagne than white wine?" is not a simple yes or no, as both can vary widely in sugar content. The dryness or sweetness of any wine, sparkling or still, is determined by its residual sugar, the natural sugar left after fermentation, as well as any sugar added by the winemaker. Therefore, a dry brut champagne could contain significantly less sugar than a sweet dessert white wine.
