  • chocolate desserts

    Dark chocolate has a fairly strong flavour that goes best with a full-bodied beer or a rich – and usually sweet – wine. White chocolate has a more delicate flavour, and is therefore better paired with very mild white dessert wines.

    sweet desserts

    The general rule for pairing a dessert with wine is that the wine should be a little sweeter than the food. Otherwise the flavour of the wine will be lost and it will taste very acidic. It’s also worth trying beer with desserts.

    berries and fruits

    In general, fruit and berries are best accompanied by light beverages that will echo their sweetly fresh and fruity flavours.

    strong cheeses

    Strong cheeses work well with comparably full-bodied beverages. If you opt for wine, it will often be sweet and maybe even fortified.

    In addition to the most famous fortified wines, there are many less well-known wine types that are classics in their area of production.

    Depending on the wine type, the flavours range from floral, raisin and citrus to dark, toasted and intense chocolate.

    Tips for use

    These fortified wines are usually sweet and therefore perfect as dessert wines, served with cheese or for socialising.

    Fortified wines with muscat aromas are flexible wines that go well with a variety of desserts due to their rich raisin and fresh citrus notes. Marsala wines, with their sweet, dried fruit flavours, are suitable for making dessert sauces and also pair well with rich desserts. Intensely sweet Malaga wines are ideal poured over ice cream. Banyulsia and Commandaria can be enjoyed in the same way as port, with chocolate desserts or strong cheeses.

    How to serve

    Used as an aperitif, serve fortified wines chilled, at 10–12°C. For socialising and as a dessert wine, serve slightly chilled, at 14–16°C.

    Other regionally known fortified wines include Pineau de Charentes, Maury, Mavrodaphne, Montilla-Moriles and Rasteau.

    Most Mediterranean countries make fortified wines from grapes belonging to the muscat grape family. Some famous examples are the French muscat de Frontignan, muscat de Beaumes-de-Venice and muscat de St-Jean-de-Minervois and the Portuguese moscatel de Setubal and moscatel de Douro.
