Alcohol-added wines: Alcohol-added (fortified) wines are sweet because the winemaker adds neutral alcohol to them during fermentation, killing the yeasts and therefore leaving sugar in the wines. They can be white or red. Quady’s Essencia, from the Muscat grape, is an excellent wine in this category.

Port-style wines: These are sweet alcohol-added wines made in the manner of Portugal’s famous red Port wines: Alcohol is added to the wine during the early stages of fermentation to preserve natural grape sweetness, and the wine is subsequently aged in wood for varying periods, depending on the specific style of Port being made. Styles vary from young to aged and from simple to complex.
