Dessert wines refer to wines that are generally served after meals together with the desert. However, this particular kind of wine can also be gulped on its own ? that is even without those sugary desserts. Examples of popular dessert wines are ?trockenbeerenauslese,? ?Sauternes,? beerenauslese,? and ?Tokaji Asz?.?
To learn more about dessert wines, here is a list of some facts about these delightful and extremely sweet wines:
1. Dessert wines are mainly produced from special fruits that were left to ripen on the vine. The main purpose of this is to make the flavor stronger. The kinds of fruits used in making dessert wines are the ones that define the overall taste or flavor of the wine.
2. In the United States, dessert wines generally contains 14% alcohol, though, it may contain than 14%.
During the ancient times, dessert wines were primarily used as ?table wines.? For this reason, ancient dessert wines only contain 12.5% alcohol or less. This means that the alcohol content is so mild that you can almost drink it as a substitute for water or any beverages during meal.
3. The more ripened the fruit is, the more alcohol is generated when produced into dessert wine. Most of these wines are classified as ?dry? and ?unfortified? or those that were not combined with spirits like brandy. The inclusion of spirits during the fermentation of the wine is the process of fortifying the wine.
Adding spirits at the early stage of fermentation results to a sweeter wine. However, its alcohol content is raised to as much as 15% to 20% upon the swift concoction of alcohol.
However, there are unfortified wines that can still reach up to 15% alcohol content. These kinds of wines, like the ?Zinfandels,? are charged with higher tax rates.
4. Not all dessert wines are alcoholic beverages. Many dessert wines contain lower amount of alcohol content. Most of these non-alcoholics or with low alcohol content wines are those from Germany. These kinds of dessert wines contain the slightest amount of alcohol or only goes to as much as 8%.
Given all these facts, dessert wines aren't just wines suited for desserts, as its name suggests. With their remarkable features, the possibilities of enjoying dessert wines are definitely endless.
