Dry is opposite meaning with sweet.
If dry wine tasted sweet, it is natural taste of fruit or alcohol flavor.
On the other hand, sweet wine's flavor is from grape juice,
 it's called residual sugar.

Flat or fresh feeling is related with acid.
Grape originally has acid, it is especially important in white wine.
