Why do people leave 5 stars and then say they haven't tried it. Some of us depend on the ratings when we decide on a recipe. If I were the submitter of the recipe I would want it tried out before you rate it that way you could make necessary changes if needed.

My question is when recipes call for wine, it is never specifies if the wine is sweet or dry. Why is that the taste between sweet makes a difference.
