Buying advice

When choosing a sweet red, consider the level of sweetness, alcohol content, and food pairing. Sparkling options like Brachetto and Lambrusco are great for appetizers, while fortified styles such as Ruby Port and Banyuls shine with desserts or cheese. For a richer, fruit-forward experience, look to Late Harvest Zinfandel or Recioto, keeping an eye on price and availability.
