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 fermentation techniques. Common types of dessert wines 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 are often enjoyed with cheese, fruit, or chocolate-based desserts, enhancing the overall dining experience.
