About
Dessert wine gets boxed in as a special occasion pour, but the category's wider than the Moscato at the back of the fridge. Riesling brings enough acidity to work with a spicy dish, not just dessert. Port , fortified and higher in alcohol, is built for slow sipping after the meal's done, this is the one to reach for if you want something closer to dessert itself than a wine that just goes with it. A lightly sparkling Moscato d'Asti sits in between, low-alcohol, fruit-forward, and hard to get wrong. Once "sweet" stops meaning one flavor, the category opens up fast. Pick a style, pick an occasion, done.
