What Gives a Sweet Red Wine Its Flavor?

Sweet red wines are categorized by the residual sugar content. These varieties of wines are sweeter because the process of fermentation is stopped before all the sugar is converted to alcohol. The sugar remaining in the wine is the residual sugar, which gives the wine its sweetness. Sweet wine tends to be lower in alcohol than dry types of red wine.

Types of Sweet Red Wines

There are several common types of sweet red wines. Port is one of the sweetest and highest in alcohol content. It's popular as an after-dinner drink or with desserts, especially treats made with chocolate. Madeira is a popular dessert wine from Portugal that is a blend of red and white grapes.
