What is the sweetest wine that is also high in alcohol content?

I don't usually drink wine because I prefer sweeter drinks. I do however really enjoy Moscato d'Asti, but it just takes too many drinks for me to feel the alcohol. I'm have a formal party and would like a dessert wine that is sweet, but stronger than 9%. I'm not looking to get drunk. I just want to feel the alcohol without having to use the restroom 10 times beforehand. Any suggestions?|||I would suggest you try a Mead instead of a wine





Mead is made from honey and many of them would fit in with what you want, sweet %26amp; over 9% (normally 12 - 14, my home made is stronger)





But try it first, as there are some lighter more floral meads out there that might not fit your needs.|||Some girl said Riesling, no. That is a very light wine both in color and alcohol.


You might try something called Ice Wine, but be careful. There is also Iced Wine. which is fake. Ice wine is one of those things that was discovered by accident. In Germany a couple of hundred years ago, a freak early frost froze the grapes right on the vines. The vintners didn't know what else to do so they tried making wine with the frozen grapes. It worked. In order for a wine to be called ICE WINE, that is what has to occur. There is a vineyard in Canada that specializes in it's production. You can google the term to find it. Barring that, You can try any number of fortified wines. They are wines that have had grain alcohol introduced to them during fermentation to stop the process before it is completed, therefore producing a sweet wine with a high alcohol content. Spanish Amantiado (sp) is a good example. But, then again, why not just go with a good brandy?|||Try any type of port. Port is a fortified desert wine from Portugal. Most ports clock in at around 40 proof (20% abv). They are sweet and delicious. I recommend starting with a tawny port (one of three grades). Ruby port is cheap crap. Vintage port is good, but can be pricey and complex in flavor. Tawny port is likely exactly what you are looking for.





Try Taylor Fladgate.|||Greek dessert wine, Mavrodaphne, sweet red wine|||Taylor Port 12% black berry brandy taste like sweet wine and has 30% alcohol|||A Tawny Port or Riesling.
