Talk:Dryness (taste)

Article title/location
Shouldn't there be a disambiguation page for this? I'm pretty sure dryness can (and mostly does) refer to amount of liquid water in a mixture/substance. Usually given as a measurement by dryness fraction or dryness factor. I'm new to editing wikipedia though, so i'm hesitant to actually add it to the page labled a drinks stub, can someone who is more familiar with the normal process do whatever it is that needs to be done?

 * I agree. I'll move dryness to alcohol sense and dryness to dry. Mikael Häggström (talk) 19:41, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

alcoholic beverages
It should be amended that dryness is pertaining to "only alcoholic beverages." Gus is a soda company that touts a line of grown up sodas that are less sweet than their counterparts, that are packaged under the guise of "dry" sodas.

Contradiction between this article and Martini (cocktail)
The article Martini (cocktail) says "The dryness of a martini, referring to the ratio of gin to vermouth." This article says "Contrary to popular belief, in a dry martini "dry" refers to the type of vermouth used, sweet or dry, not the amount of vermouth used in the drink." Which is it? 50.191.22.227 (talk) 02:29, 17 January 2015 (UTC)

This article is completely wrong. Dryness (taste) refers to the amount of neat spirit in a cocktail. A 100% dry drink is a glass of neat spirit from a bottle with 0 dilution. Dry Martinis are referred to as such because a 6:1 Martini is 85% neat spirit (not accounting for dilution), therefore it is a very dry drink, but a Dry Martini can be made with sweet vermouth as well and not necessarily have to use dry vermouth, just in even smaller proportions and still be a Dry Martini.
