Sweet white wine (including dessert wines, late-harvest, and Sauternes, typically 10-14% ABV) retains high levels of residual natural sugars — 50-200g per litre — alongside concentrated grape polyphenols and aromatics. A typical 100ml dessert wine measure contains 1-1.4 units and 130-160 kcal. The small serving size typical of dessert wines naturally limits unit and calorie intake.
Serve in small glasses (75-100ml) as a dessert accompaniment; the sweetness means a little goes a long way. The richness pairs classically with blue cheese, foie gras, and fruit-based desserts.
