Dessert wines are sweet wines typically served with or after a meal, often paired with desserts. They are made from grapes that have higher sugar content, either through late harvesting, drying, or using specific fermentation techniques. Common types include Sauternes, Port, and Moscato. These wines can vary in sweetness levels and flavors, ranging from fruity to nutty. They are usually enjoyed in smaller servings due to their richness. Dessert wines can enhance the flavors of desserts or be enjoyed on their own, making them a popular choice for special occasions and celebrations.
