Our post on how to match sweet wines with dessert
The most important rule to remember when matching wine and desserts is that a sweeter wine is always better. Wine that doesn’t have ample sugar levels will invariably taste thin and tart.
Botrytis affected wines fit the bill nicely. Late harvest wines generally aren’t as sweet as their Botrytis cousins, but still offer excellent matching with lighter desserts.
Another wine you should consider is a Moscato. This fruity sweet semi-sparkling white wine is low in alcohol (around 5 per cent) and is heaven when drunk with fresh fruit and other light fruity desserts.

Sorry no wines will match any chocolate or no chocolate will match any wines

Thanks you for this. My wind pairing skills, for lack of a better word, are seriously lacking. Red for meat, white for fish, and moscato for dessert. These posts are always welcome.

I really enjoy desert wines. Sadly, those closest to me refuse to see the joy of a well pared sweet wine. I now have quite a collection. I must start drinking alone…

Oh how I love this post! I didn’t know that the sweeter wines would go so nicely with desserts, for I’d have thought the sweetest might have canceled the other. 🙂 I learn something new daily for sure! Your blog space is spicy and quite lovely!
All the best in wines!

Thank you for this! Like a previous commenter, I thought dessert should be paired with a non-sweet wine. Will be doing more “research” on this subject.
