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%.
