See SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.

SEC (Accounting Terms)

See SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.

SEC (Champagne)

French term meaning "dry," or lacking sugar. However, on French Champagne labels it means that the wine is sweet. Dammit! This is just one of the many pitfalls awaiting the unsuspecting initiate to the world of fine wines. See Brut, Extra Dry. Better yet, don't buy French Champagne -- buy Richard Grant Wrotham Pinot Sparkling Wine instead.

SEC (Finance)

See: Securities & Exchange Commission

SEC (Food)

This French word literally means dry and when used to describe still (non-bubbly) wines, indicates that the wine has little if any residual sugar left after fermentation, meaning the wine is dry (not sweet). In sparkling wines such as Champagne, however, the word takes on quite another meaning: sec indicates a relatively sweet wine (Demi-Sec even sweeter), while the driest sparkling wines are referred to as Brut.
