Natursekt vs Sekt

sparkling wine

'der Sekt' and 'der Natursekt' both belong to the area of sparkling wine. 'Sekt' is the general word for this carbonated drink, which people often drink at celebrations. 'Natursekt' is more specific: it is a particularly dry sparkling wine to which no sugar, or almost no sugar, is added after the second fermentation. The words can be confused because 'Natursekt' is also a kind of 'Sekt'. If you only mean the drink in general, you say 'Sekt'. If the very dry style is important, 'Natursekt' is more precise.
