Wednesday's wine moment- Once again thanks. Mr Foster.-If you like sweet wines you are in good company- many people say they prefer dry (non-sweet) wines and deny liking sweet wines, but secretly everyone enjoys a hint of sugar! However, not all sweet wines are created equal. Some are sweeter than others. Technically, making sweet wine is simple. Any grape that reaches full ripeness is full of sugar, because as grapes mature the inner acidity a young grape starts out with slowly turns into sugar through photosynthesis. So all wine grapes, red and white, start the fermentation process very sweet. The grapes are crushed, yeasts act on the sugars in the juice, and over the period of a few weeks almost all of that sugar is converted to alcohol. A dry wine has simply been allowed to ferment until practically all the sugar has been converted to alcohol. To get a sweet wine, you just stop the fermentation process early, before all that sugar has been converted to alcohol. Doing this leaves some of the sugar in the wine. So to know how sweet a wine actually is, just look at the alcohol content on the bottle. The less alcohol, the higher the residual sugar. A Moscato, for example, is a very sweet wine with around 5% alcohol because fermentation was halted early. A Riesling, sweet but not as sweet as a Moscato, was allowed to ferment a little longer and therefore runs 8-9% alcohol. An "off-dry" wine, mostly dry but with a hint of sweetness, such as Pinot Grigio, will be in the 10-13% range. But once you allow fermentation to fully run its course and reach the 14-15% alcohol range, such as with traditional table wines such as Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, and most red wines, these will be dry because the average person cannot detect what little sugar is left in the wine at this point (btw fermentation naturally stops when the wine reaches 15% alcohol). As for food pairings, sweet wines go with a variety of foods. The rule of thumb is you never want the food to be sweeter than the wine. In other words, if you serve a sweet wine with dessert, the wine needs to be at least as sweet as the dessert, otherwise the dessert will overshadow the wine. But don't forget about non-sweet foods when pairing sweet wines- a slightly sweet Riesling actually goes very well with ham and turkey!

Hope you enjoy. Feel free to reach out if you are interested in having your own personal wine tasting or if you are planning or buying real estate in 2026. I am at 540-293-4822 or [email protected]

Last minute Thanksgiving wine suggestion- Thanks Steve for the tip
What a great holiday Thanksgiving is- lots of family, food, and fun! Of course a little wine is also needed for a great experience. As far as what to offer your guests, sparkling wine is your failsafe- it goes with everything. If you want red and white wine as well, Pinot Noir for red and a slightly sweet Riesling are perfect, both pair well with a variety of traditional Thanksgiving foods. But if you want to be adventurous, try a Beaujolais Nouveau- this easy drinking light bodied red wine from the Burgundy region of France is traditionally released the Thursday before Thanksgiving every November, and shipments of it are rushed around the world for quick sale. Like pinot noir, it is a wonderful pairing with just about any Thanksgiving food. Enjoy!
Looking for other great wine tips- schedule your own personal wine tasting. Please feel to reach out to me at [email protected] or 540-293-4822.
