What Type Of Wine Is Sweet?
There are several types of wine that are sweet, including dessert wines, late harvest wines, fortified wines like port and sherry, and some Riesling and Moscato varieties. These wines are made from grapes that are purposely left on the vines longer, allowing them to develop a higher sugar content and resulting in a sweeter taste. The sweetness of a wine can also depend on the winemaking process, such as adding additional sugar or halting fermentation to leave residual sugar in the wine.
