What's a really good sweet red wine?

Question

Can anyone tell me a really good sweet red wine? I'd like one to have after dinner with dessert.
And, what's a really good sweet red wine to serve with dinner or to have with appetizers? Maybe on i could find in my local supermarket and is affordable.

Answer 1

I have been in love with a particular maker of my favorite sweet red wine for some time. Some people will tell you that "sweet" wine isn't real wine, that it can't be good. Don't listen to them; even wine manufacturers who have previously concentrated on the dry wines appreciated by my grandmother and father are realizing that there are people out here who would enjoy wine if it were a bit sweeter.

My favorite sweet wine is made by Duplin, and Duplin sells this wine in grocery stores and mass marketers; I've bought it at Wal-Mart, Costco, and Food Lion (local popular grocery store). You shouldn't have a problem finding it. When you go into the wine selection, look for a bottle whose label is dominated by a cream color and a lighthouse. "Duplin" should be on it large enough to spot easily from several steps away. For the sweet red wine, look for the Carolina Red or the Hattaras Red. They are both the sweet reds you asked for, and they're made from muscadines.

Muscadines are those grape-like fruits with a think outer skin. If you pick and eat them fresh, you would bite a slit in the outer skin and suck out the very sweet inside. The skin has a rather bitter or sour taste. In any case, the wines taste a lot like real, sweet muscadines; most fruity wines do not taste very much like the fruit they say they are made from.

I have also recently tried Duplin's Carlos. It's still made from muscadines, but it's softer and dryer. It's closer to a traditional white, but it is still sweet enough for me to drink and enjoy.

Answer 2

Good Sweet Red Wine

Answer 3

If you want a very sweet red wine, try Renwood Amador Ice. It's a dessert wine where the skins are left on so it is red. It's one of the very few ice wines that are red.
For day to day consumption, I'd go with Lambrusco as it's cheap and most people do like it.

Answer 5

a lambrusco red wine and it's kept chiled its sweet very teasty and not expensive. I don tlike red wine but I'll drink that.

Answer 6

If you are limiting your choices to (sweet and red), try a Port wine for dessert, and a Lambrusco with the dinner if it has to be sweet red wine only.

Answer 7

Rosemount - the prestige wine of Australia. It is a really good wine. It goes great with grilled food. But the one that goes great with dessert, would be Danubia (Bulgaria). It is white, sweet wine. It also has a great taste. If you decide to try it, hope you will like it. :)

Answer 8

Try Cafe Zinfandel. Very Red, but very sweet. Many who hate dry reds love this because it's sweeter than blushes.

Answer 9

HAve you ever tried Sangria? It's a wine that has had sugar added to it.
