Question

preferably red.

Answer 1

If you want something REALLY sweet, look for Manischewitz wines. I knew a fellow years ago - when he came to visit one day, he brought a bottle of it with him. FAR too sweet for my taste (I like a VERY dry wine.) but it may be just what you're looking for. There are lots of types:

Traditionals
Concord Grape
A sweet but balanced wine with a generous mouth feel. The distinct aroma and flavor of fresh Concord grapes.

Blackberry
100% Blackberry wine with the aromas and flavors of blackberry jam. Hearty.

Cherry
A full-bodied sweet but balanced wine. Aroma and taste is reminiscent of fresh baked cherry pie.

Extra Heavy Malaga
A specially sweetened fruity wine with a generous mouth feel. The distinct aroma and flavor of fresh Concord grapes.

Elderberry
A hearty red wine bursting with the aroma and flavor of Elderberry pie.

Medium Dry Concord
A semi-sweet wine with a generous mouth feel. A bold concord wine, exploding with grape flavor.

Loganberry
A hearty red wine bursting with the flavors and aromas of fresh Loganberries.

Creams

Cream White Concord
A sweet wine with a pleasant mouth feel and a smooth aftertaste. A smooth fruity wine with plenty of grape flavor and a subtle aroma of confectionery flavors.

Cream Red Concord
A sweet but balanced wine with a velvety mouth feel. The distinct aroma and flavor of fresh Concord grapes with confectionery notes.

Cream Blush Concord
A full-bodied sweet and yet crisp wine. A pleasant pink color and distinctive fruit aroma and flavor.

Cordials

Cream Peach
A sweet wine with a pleasant mouth feel and a smooth aftertaste. A smooth creamy peach flavor, bursting with the taste of fresh peaches.

Answer 2

Riesling is a sweet white wine that most people like. "Really sweet" wines are called dessert wines--some are almost syrupy in consistency. They range from white to burgundy and some are very fruity reds. A tawny port is a very sweet red (and strong), and is best in small amounts after dinner or with dessert. You might try a place like Bristol Farms or an upscale grocery store where a knowledgeable person works in the wine section. They usually love talking about it.

A wine expert will be able to guide you if you state why you need sweet (what food?)

Answer 3

well how much are you wanting to spend?

the only truly sweet red (Vitis vinifera anyway) wines will be grenache-based dessert wines from the south of france (for example, a type of wine known as Banyuls), certain ports and black muscat; these are wonderful but will generally be more on the expensive side and may only come in 500mL or 375mL bottles (so you will have to buy several for a function).

but if you interpret fruitiness as sweetness (many people do), then an inexpensive aussie shiraz (like gumdale) that comes in magnums (1.5L bottles) is a good way to go

you can also go outside the bounds of what most think of as wine (generally grapes in the Vitis vinifera species) and go with things like blueberry or blackberry wines, black muscadine wines, and the like), if you know that what those attending tend to like

but with the white wines, other suggestions have already been made above; if your budget allows for going beyond a supermarket, go to any dedicated wine store and just look in the "dessert wine" section and don't be afraid of asking the merchant for advice

Answer 4

Generally sweet wines are generally white wines. A good choice for sweet and dry are Rieslings and Gewurztraminer.

A good red to try that has sweet chracteristics is; Rutherford Grove 2000 Sangiovese

Answer 5

usually, the labels inform which wines are sweet and which are dry.

it is known that ladies prefer sweet wines, while men prefer dry wines (most of them have headaches when they drink sweet wines).

try to buy an imported brand (french or italian).

Answer 6

Red wines aren't "really sweet" per say. they are more fruity, silky, smooth. If you really want a red wine, then go with a merlot not a chianti, shiraz, or cabernet sauvingon. Really sweet wine is a white zinfindel which is really pink wine, and most wine drinkers don't consider this wine at all. i like an eco domani merlot. good luck!

Answer 7

there aren't very many sweet wines. your best bet is to go with sangria. it is red, very sweet, and you can serve it with fruit. otherwise the sweetest that i have ever had is red zinfandel, but it is still rather dry

Answer 8

try a red with lower alcohol like Egri Merlot or rashi red try are truly sweet or semi sweet

Answer 9

Try Blackberry wine, Manischevitz Kosher, do you in!!!!

Answer 10

Look no further than Night Train.
