Those truly even for the pink Koolaid crowd are too sweet unless they are served with dessert and then they are wonderfully decadent. Only wines I can’t drink after the first taste of dessert. For me nothing sucks more than bringing me dessert right after pouring me a giant red wine. I have to drink the wine, that I crave, knowing that the dessert tempting me will destroy the taste of it. So, 30 minutes later, I finally have a bite of dessert. jc Ice wine reminds me of the heavy syrup in fruit cocktail 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare xpcdoojk Posted June 23, 2019 #29 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Just now, John&LaLa said: Ice wine reminds me of the heavy syrup in fruit cocktail Yes, but they actually can have a fairly high alcohol content. Since the grapes crushed are condensed they have more sugar than juice. Which means that you can ferment the wine and end up with a sweet high alcohol wine, versus pink Koolaid... which is just sweet. I am sure they add sugar to that mess.

Rare xpcdoojk Posted June 23, 2019 #30 Share Posted June 23, 2019 I said wine... hardly any wine in pink Koolaid. Finally broke our friend of that. Never forget the time we were floating the Buffalo and they wiped out and lost 3 bottles of Koolaid, before we hiked to Hemmed in Hollar. jc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare xpcdoojk Posted June 23, 2019 #32 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Yes, ... So about a decade ago, we were driving in the MINI on some lovely Arkansas road, when we hit the Arkansas River and drove a road along the valley. I noticed that there were signs for vineyards... so, since it was close to dinner time and checking into our hotel, I told the DW let’s check these out. (One of the oldest vineyards in constant production is in this area, Wiedeker (sp?) has been there since the late 19th century). So, we go in and I was surprised that the vineyard had Cabernet and Merlot, etc. They bought the juice in California. They had a 50’ long tasting bar that was clearly historic, not new fab... it was quite nice. Then a bubba with about 10 of his own teeth came in , wearing a John Daly outfit. Overalls, no tee shirt... and walked up to the beautiful bar and loudly and proudly proclaimed.... “ Do you have any of that sweet red wine?” It was a classic moment. If only the producers on National Lampoon’s Xmas vacation were there.... they would have been able to make another funny movie. jc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All over $20 a bottle. I think I saw someone picking out their two bottles for Harmony Edited June 23, 2019 by John&LaLa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emory2001 Posted June 23, 2019 #41 Share Posted June 23, 2019 (edited) Moscato or Icewine for "sweet white wine." These are usually dessert wines, but let people have what they want when they want. For a "sweeter but not dessert sweet" white wine, there's Asti as others have mentioned, Riesling, and Gewurztraminer (pronounced "ge-VUR-straminer"). Sometimes Riesling can have a lemony taste and be not as sweet, but it's still not going to be as heavy as a Chardonnay.

Croozin Soozin Posted June 23, 2019 #45 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Are there any low sugar (carb) wines that someone can suggest? I’m not a wine drinker normally, haven’t been a drinker at all for the past few years due to medications, but I’m off the meds now and rather than get another towel or tote I’d like to get a bottle (or 3) of wine when I cruise in September B3B. Which have the lowest sugar content on the list? Or at the bars? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it comes to sparkling wines, opt for extra dry, brut or extra brut sparkling wine and Champagne. Maybe knowing this, you can look up some names. I am not a dry wine drinker. They leave a "tangy" taste on my tongue. LOL 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esmerelda Posted June 23, 2019 #48 Share Posted June 23, 2019 For Croozin Soozin; My hubby and I have been ketoing for a while now. Someone had posted this a few weeks ago. if you are interested to know about carb content this is very helpful. I’m fortunate as I love Sauvignon Blanc and occasionally a Pinot Grigio. (Hubby has lost 13 and myself 9). Best of luck...😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
