Sweet wine questions are asked on answers numerous times a day. You might want to use the search box and look for "sweet wines" to egt some additional recommendation.

The sweetest wines are dessert wines. These will be ice wines, late harvest wines, and ports. These are typically easy to find in any supermarket wine section or liquor store. They range from being disgustingly sweet to being fabulously citrusy or vanilla-y with a hint of sweet.

From there, white wines that are sweet include a non-dry Reisling, Viognier, Muscat, and Gewurtztraminer. Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Fume Blanc, and similar whites are not typically sugary sweet.

Red wines are not traditionally sweet unless they are the cheap wines with flavours added. You can find non-dry red wines that have fruity undertones, like Zinfandel and Shiraz/Syrah. These will frequently have a flavours of plum, cherry, black currant, and rich dark fruits. Steer clear of inexpensive cabs.

Some to try:

Maryhill Viognier
Maryhill Gewurtz
Fetzer Gewurtz
Allegro Muscat (in a cool tall bottle)
Sineann late harvest Zin
Reuscher Haart Reisling
Six Prong Red
Cycles Gladiator Syrah

The next best thing to do is to start attending tastings. Most wine shops have them, so start going. Write down wines that you like and what you like about them. Also, do the converse. If one tastes like dirt, write down that's why you don't like it. Don't get hyperbolic and write things like "it tastes like gasoline" or simply "it sucks" as you'll never be able to pinpoint what it is that you are disliking. Once you have your list, talk to the shop person about it. Have them help you pick something out that has the traits that you like while avoiding the traits that you don't.

Good luck and have fun!

buy Wild Vines Wine, they have alot of different flavors like strawberry, raspberry, wild berry, and some others. Its really good and sweet, i know, cause i hate anything other than sweet wine. It's also pretty cheap too, around $2-$3 for a normal sized bottle. You can also buy this wine in a 1.5 liter bottle too. That one runs about $4-$5 a bottle.
