dry wines

[BB_6543]

Not really into wine but want to give & serve wine at special get togethers The people I host are DRY Wine lovers, (Red) is their choice. I have been told that Dry means unsweet, is that true? The limited stores in my area have a large selection but very few bottles say Dry or Extra Dry, and with color bottles I cant tell if they are red or white wines. What should I be looking for and what brands?. I cant afford expensive brands just the poor mans wine would be nice.
