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 include Sauternes, Port, and Moscato. These wines can enhance the flavors of desserts or be enjoyed on their own. They are usually served in smaller portions due to their sweetness and richness. Dessert wines can vary in style, from sparkling to fortified, offering a wide range of tastes and aromas to complement various culinary experiences.
