Could you please tell me the meaning of the word Troken or Trocken. I have heard it used in relation to dry wines. Thank You, Maggie

I believe that the direct translation is...
dry

Trocken does indeed translate to dry. When referring to wine, trocken means dry; hab-trocken is medium or off dry. But the word also is found at the beginning of a description for sweet dessert wine trockenbeerenauslese (sp). In this case the trocken refers to the grapes, which are almost dry when harvested.
