There's a special kind of red wine that's sweet, or something they add to it to make it sweet...what is it?!
Answers: I can't remember the name, but I think it's three letters, maybe something like nir? It's bothering me soo much!!
To sweeten a wine, you can add extra sugar (or other sweetener), glycerine, or even antifreeze (not recommended). The closest I can come to "nir" is "kir". That wouldn't be it, would it?
sangria?
Sangria add oranges
mogan david 20 20 and they add sugar and grapes mmm so good get in the grape really good have fun
It's called Chardonnay. It's not three letters. It is ten letters. 'K.
Are you thinking of ice wine...good ones are from Canada and Germany. The grapes are frozen, then fermented. It's a dessert wine...you'd probably not like it with spaghetti!
"Nir" isn't ringing a bell with me but I can name several examples of sweet red wine. There's a sweet Greek red wine called mavrodaphne. There's the sangria that several others have mentioned. You can buy it premade (obviously no fruit slices are included) or make it yourself by adding sugar, fruit & brandy to red wine (typically cheap varietals are used). In any case, it's rather inexpensive. There's port which is a fortified wine made in Portugal. There are several types of port but all are sweet and made from red wine grapes. Muscadine is made from table grapes (similar to concord) and is very sweet. Then there are several types of late harvest wines and these can be made from any kind of varietal (pinot noir, zinfandel, syrah, merlot, you name it). For these they allow the grapes to hang on the vine long past the point of usual harvest which concentrates the sugar and thus the wines are sweet. These are served exclusively as dessert wines. There's also an Italian wine called Amarone where the grapes are allowed to dry and the end result is a wine that has a hint of raisin flavor. Amarones, late harvest wines and ports tend to be more expensive than your average wine just so you are aware. The only other thing I can think of is "mead" which is alcohol made from honey. It is sometimes referred to as "honeywine" and as you might imagine is rather sweet. I doubt you are referring to this since it doesn't even look like red wine but thought I'd throw it in just in case.
