Is dessert wine sweeter than regular wine?

Here's why:

* Sugar Levels: Dessert wines are made with higher residual sugar content, meaning more sugar remains in the wine after fermentation. This is achieved by interrupting fermentation, either by adding alcohol or by using special yeast strains that tolerate higher sugar levels.

* Purpose: Dessert wines are designed to be enjoyed after a meal, usually with sweet treats, and their sweetness complements these flavors.

* Examples: Some popular dessert wines include Port, Sauternes, Ice Wine, and Moscato.

While some regular wines can have a hint of sweetness, dessert wines are significantly sweeter and often have a syrupy texture.
