Exactly. Straightforward question - correct answer.

The EU definition of dry is "Maximum of 4g/l, or 9g/l where the total
acidity content is not more than 2g/l below the residual sugar
content." By my calculation, 2g per US tablespoon is 135g/l. That is
most definitely sweet, which in EU terms is "At least 45g/l".
