After dinner, dessert wines are sweetest. They usually come in smaller bottles. Try some Ports, too.
I would recommend Ice Wine. It’s very rich and sweet. Typically this kind of wine is served at the end of a meal, usually as a ‘dessert’ type wine, like the way varieties of schnapps are served after dinner throughout Europe.
With icewines you can get a lot of different types of fruity and sweet flavours, like apricot, honey, pear, butterscotch.. the list goes on. One thing about icewines is that, in general, they’re a little pricy. The bottles are much smaller (1 bottle usually fills only two glasses max,) however you will be able to find some lower-priced icewines at your local liquor / wine store. The reason why they’re a little pricier is because of the yield of the grapes when they’re harvested. At temperatures around -7 to -9 degrees C they’re harvested when they’re frozen solid to the vines in the winter.. but I think they have to be on the vine at that temperature for at least 5 days before they’re ready. After they’re harvested they’re processed and aged accordingly.
A sweet and great wine would be Plum wine. It is sooooo good and easy on the taste…
Riesling, gewurztraminer, Fume Blanc, Port.
a yucky wine
Ruinite Lambrusco. Red, sweet, tastes not too far off of Grape Juice. By far my FAVORITE wine.
My favorite sweet red wine is Marvroe Daphne.
I hope you find it, it is excellent.
Icewine from Canada is probably the sweetest, non-fortified wine. The European Icewines are not as sweet because they make it in a different style. However, you could try a Port as well which is a fortified wine that is very sweet.
Gallo White Merlot. Very fruity and not bitter, but must be drank soon after opening the bottle. It gets bitter after a while ( like a week).
White Zinfadel, not real sweet but a nice flavor. Also can get flavored Zinfadels they are sweeter
