Sweet Wines

Sweet wines are types of wine that contain a higher level of residual sugar, which contributes to their sweet taste. This sweetness can result from various production methods, such as stopping fermentation early to retain natural sugars, using late-harvest grapes, or employing techniques like botrytis (noble rot) or ice wine production. Sweet wines can range from lightly sweet to intensely sweet and are often characterized by fruity, floral, and sometimes honeyed flavors. They can be made from various grape varieties and are enjoyed as dessert wines, paired with rich foods, or served on their own. Sweet wines are popular in many wine-producing regions and can vary significantly in style and sweetness levels.
