Discover Sweet/Dessert Red Wine Wines

Dessert wines, sometimes known as pudding wines in the UK, are sweet wines that are frequently eaten with dessert. A dessert wine does not have a clear definition. In the United States, a dessert wine is defined as any wine with an alcohol content of more than 14% by volume, which includes all fortified wines—and as a result, it is taxed more heavily. This is from a time when fortification was the only way to make dessert wines in the United States, however such a categorization is no longer valid since that contemporary yeast and viticulture can produce dry wines with alcohol levels of above 15% without fortification (and German dessert wines can contain half that amount of alcohol).
