Beverages characterized by their elevated sugar content, resulting from residual sugars after fermentation, offer a diverse range of flavors and styles. Examples include late harvest Riesling, Sauternes, and ice wine, each reflecting distinct winemaking techniques and grape varietals.
These flavorful beverages often accompany desserts, cheeses, or stand alone as aperitifs, enhancing culinary experiences. Their production dates back centuries, with methods refined over time to achieve desired levels of sweetness and complexity.
