The ultimate luxury, and the perfect end to a fine meal. One swirl of a glass of sweet nectar sets the imagination racing; a glass of something sweet marries wonderfully with luxury cakes and pastries, matches the opulence of chocolate and puddings and contrasts beautifully with fine artisan cheeses. Wines to drink or keep.
Wine is a product of the fermentation of grape juice’s natural sugars into alcohol. In this sense, a wine’s sugar content is a balance between the alcohol produced from the grape juice sugar and the remaining sugar after fermentation. Depending on the quality and type of grapes used, the alcohol may vary from around 7% to 15% by volume. The sweetness of the wine itself may vary according to the production method used, the climate, grapes used, and other factors.
The production of dessert wines is an industry in itself. Though there are international regulations in the use of the term “dessert wine,” a layman’s definition would be that it is (usually) an unfortified wine, which is sweeter than the food it accompanies. In this case, a benchmark for the definition would be to compare the sweetness of the wine with a perfectly ripe peach.
To create a dessert wine, some production methods stop the fermentation process leaving enough sugar in the wine. The most common ways of producing these wines include the use of naturally sweet grapes, adding sugar before or after fermentation, adding alcohol, or removing water from the grapes to concentrate the sugar. The more famous and more expensive dessert wines are made with the last method.
Dessert wines include raisin wines (Italy’s Vin Santo, Recioto de Soave and Recioto del Valpolicella), ice wines (Germany’s Eiswein and Canada’s ice wine), and wines from grapes affected with noble rot (Sauternes and Imperial Tokay from Hungary).

I just wanted to compliment your company on your excellent service! I am very wary on sending flowers through the post as I have used other companies before and have not been very happy! My sister was thrilled with the flowers that you had sent and I will be telling all my friends about your great flowers and service! And of course will be using you again myself! Many Thanks
