Buy Sweet Wine
Sweet wines are those that, due to the high sugar richness of the musts, remain sweet in a natural way, because the yeast does not have aptitude to transform the whole existing sugar.
In the warm zones, as in Spain and in other Mediterranean... countries, where the sugar richness is normally high, in a natural way, they remain sweet after the fermentation.
In the northern wine-growing countries, that is to say, those from the north and Europe's center, the natural conditions in which the viticulture is carried out have a relatively low natural sugar content in the grapes and, therefore, there are obtained wines of low alcoholic graduation and with very few possibilities of being perpetuated for a long time. This is the reason why it has been used a series of solutions to allow the natural enrichment of the sugar content of the grapes with very diverse procedures.
