Nothing, unless you like your wine "sweet".

I understand Dale's question as:"Why do we call unsweet wine "dry" and do we do not call sweet wine "wet".
It is a bit strange, come to think it. "Dry" for a liquid.

And why don't we call unsweet wine "sour"?
Because dry wine can be sour, but then it is bad wine.
To me dry is fine.
