Hi all sifus,

What type of red wines should I choose for sweet taste?

I only know white wines like Moscato are sweet. And Icewine are sweet.. Not sure what type of red wine to choose for sweet. Anyone care to share?

Ice wine do come in red too just costly

Port are fortified wine.

How sweet do you seek?

mind to describe what food the wine is going to pair with...? or just a drink when chit chatting with friend?
because sweet is not always good/the best...

Check out ice wine festival there are some pairing info.

Dessert wine many times is drunk like a dessert not meant to drunk like wine. Which is why they are 200ml or 375 ml and cost more than avg wine.

Best is very subjective. Few ppl understand or appreciate dessert wine

Why would anyone pair dessert wine with Chinese food? Such as shark fin, it's like drinking Coke or banana milk shake with them...

when one look at Sweet wine, one should look at residual sugar.

to be consider sweet wine the residual sugar level is often over 50g/L.

3 puttonyos Hungarian has at least 60g/L
Spätlese or late harvest 200g/L
ice wine typicall ~400g/L
Our Coke has like 110g/L

typical wines sauvignon blanc, riesling will not hit over 20g/L
