Answer 1

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 get 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!

Answer 4

Sweet wine is produced with extra sweet wine grapes. In order to make them sweet, the fermentation is stopped before the yeast turns all the natural grape sugar into alcohol. There are several ways to stop the fermentation, including super-cooling or adding brandy to wine. Both methods create an environment where yeast won’t survive. While there are hundreds of different types of dessert wines available in the market, most fall into 5 main styles. This guide outlines the 5 styles and includes examples of each.

Answer 5

Please state which country you are from (or where you live) when you ask such questions. I am from Cyprus, and for us here, the best sweet wine is Commandaria. It has a long history and legend. It is known by most to be first produced by St.John Hospitalier Knights during the crusades. They bought Cyprus from Richard the Lion-hearted, Norman King of England, in the 13th Century. They built a small castle and settled in Kolossi near Limassol. That is where they produced this wonderful sweet wine. Today various wine makes produce Commandaria, the best is by Keo and Sodap wineries. The price in Cyprus is around 5.50 Cy pounds (= 10-11 US Dollars).

Answer 6

Theres a couple diff kinds. But there is your Pino that is sweet but not sugary. Also the champagne is sweet but dont get a cheep one. Zinfedel is probably the more popular ones. And there is a german type of wine that I cant think of right now that is very good also. But these are the types. Then you need to ask the local wine stores which ones are best for the money and taste.

Answer 7

I highly recommend Ice Wine, especially those made with the reisling grape. If you want the gold standard, go with Inniskillin out of the Niagra region, if you want something more affordable, you could go with some of the German or New Zeland Ice Wines. (Eiswine is the German spelling of Ice Wine)
