What is a sweet red wine and what makes it taste so good?

If you're wondering what sweet red wine is, it’s all about the "residual sugar" left after fermentation. Unlike dry reds, sweet reds like the fan-favourite Brown Brothers Cienna are bursting with bright berry flavours and a refreshing finish. They are often served chilled, making them a refreshing option for warmer weather. Often jammier, sweet reds are the perfect companion for desserts or to balance out savoury dishes. At BWS, we stock a huge range of these fruity drops that are ready for 30-minute* Store Pick-Up.

Which are the best sweet red wine types for beginners?

If you're just starting your wine journey, a sweet red wine for beginners is a brilliant entry point because they are less "tannic" (that mouth-drying feeling) than a heavy Shiraz. Popular sweet red wine types include Dolce, Cienna, and Lambrusco. For a guaranteed winner, try a good sweet red wine like the Brown Brothers Dolcetto & Syrah. You can jump online to see our full list of sweet red wine varieties and find what’s currently chilled at your local BWS.
