Dry, as in some of the jokes that are told on here, not mentioning any names in particular, you know that, right Buck, BT??
Jeekinz hit the nail on the head. It is the opposite of sweet. The drier the wine the more it will make your mouth pucker.

Yeah pucker was not exactly what I was looking for, but it was as close as I could getPucker? That makes it sound like dry wine is sour, which is definitely not the case in the definitional sense. Once in a while I am sure a dry wine will sound a sour note, though.
The dryness of wine depends on how much of the sugar has been converted to alcohol -- it's a measure of sweetness.
Dry wine will not be sweet. IMO they usually don't make my mouth pucker, just smile
