The SPR Top 10 Champagne Picks
Which is dryer -- Extra Dry or Brut Champagne?
Answer: See bottom of page
Champagne's signature bubbles were included by accident! Back in the 1700s, wine was supposed to be flat, like most wine is today. Bubbles were an error in the process, and the monk Dom Pérignon worked hard to remove them. Instead, he found methods of blending and clarifying the drink, and soon it was sought after by French aristocracy.

Answer: Brut -- The French made the designation of "Brut" in 1876 for the British when they complained that the extra dry was not dry enough. Supposedly the French thought the British were being brutes.
