The term "dessert wine" is generally used to mean "a wine that is sweet to very sweet and is enjoyed after a meal."
However, in reality, the definition is vague and its meaning varies greatly from country to country.
For example, in the United States, the law requires that any wine with an alcohol content of 14 percent or more be called a dessert wine, regardless of whether it is sweet or dry.
In Germany, on the other hand, it refers to wine with an alcohol content of 8 to 10 percent, which is lower than that of regular wine.
In the UK, it is used to mean a sweet wine to be enjoyed with a meal.
The most famous dessert wines are "Noble Rot Wine" and "Ice Wine".
