Which statement describes a method NOT used to produce wines with residual sugar?

Explanation:
Residual sugar in wine is controlled by how fermentation is managed and whether sugar is added, not by aging in wood. Concentrating grape must raises its sugar content, so if fermentation is paused or halted before all that sugar is consumed, some sugar remains as residual. Stopping fermentation is a direct way to leave sugar in the wine. Blending in a sweetening component introduces additional sugar or unfermented juice to achieve sweetness. Aging the wine in oak does not increase sugar content; it can influence flavor, texture, and perceived sweetness, but it does not add residual sugar.
