sweet wine

In French, 'vin doux' refers to wines that have a higher residual sugar content, making them taste sweet. These wines can be made from various grape varieties and are often enjoyed as dessert wines or aperitifs. 'Vin doux' can also include fortified wines, which are wines that have had alcohol added to enhance their sweetness and alcohol content. They are popular in many regions of France, especially in the context of pairing with desserts and cheeses.
