Generally speaking if you add a wine yeast to a must it will naturally ferment it dry unless you stop it or not all of the sugar is fermentable.

The bottom screen shot is for supermarket juice wine which we start using a total of 1100g of sugar in a standard demijohn - Supermarket Juice Wine How To guide and Recipes.
