Dessert wines
Choose a dessert wine with the sweetness of the food in mind. A dry wine beside a sweet dish can taste sharper and less generous than it does alone.
WINEVERY / THE GUIDEDessert wines
Match more than the colour
Chocolate does not automatically call for red wine. Think about sweetness, richness and any bitter notes, then consider whether the wine has enough sweetness for that particular dessert.
Keep the portion and freshness in view
A small pour can be enough beside a rich dessert. Acidity helps balance sweetness, but a style name cannot supply a measured sugar value. Use producer information when you need that figure.
