Talk:Dessert wine

A quick web search found all of these being called dessert wines. Do they merit inclusion here? Malaga, Madeira, Marsala, and the "vins doux naturels", Amarone, Recioto di Valpolicella Anjou moulleux, sweet Vouvray, Quarts du Chaume, Rochefort, and Bonnezeaux, Banyuls Khikhvi, Saamo, Salkhino Rmhermen 21:19, Oct 6, 2004 (UTC) As a general rule, keep the fortified stuff over in the fortified wines article, and the unfortified sweeties here - inevtiably there is some overlap, but it's best if this article concentrates on the unfortified wines.

Interwiki links and fortified vs. unfortified
I am not sure whether we should have interwiki links here to it:Vino passito and fr:Vin liquoreux, or whether we ought to have a more specific article on unfortified dessert wines. I tend towards the latter: but what should we call it? And is anyone keen to write it? (Honestly I don’t have the knowledge to make anything more than a stub to go alongside this stub.) —Ian Spackman 11:16, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Rewrite

 * It badly needed it, as one of the prime 'gateways' to the wine articles on Wikipedia. I see a prime function of articles like this as maximising the number of 'signposts' to other classes of Wiki articles, whilst bearing in mind that it's aimed at casual readers who aren't interested in the minutiae - in any case, links to subsidiary articles are provided for those who are interested. I see this kind of article being more about breadth and diversity.
 * For instance, reading it back, I've barely mentioned the Loire and Alsace, source of some of my favourite wines. And I'm not very good on New World dessert wines.  But whatever your 'pet' wine is - even Sauternes only gets a few links in this article.  Since your 'pet' wine will not be more important than Sauternes when it comes to dessert wine (no really - it isn't ;-/), put your efforts into making a really good separate article on the 'pet' wine and then add a link  or two to this article.  Remember, this is an article that's meant to draw newbies in to the other wine material on Wikipedia, not give them d'Yquem as a first sip.....

 * It could do with a lot of citation referencing though :-)))

Serving section contains opinion stated as fact.
The serving section makes statements about how to serve dessert wine and what not to serve it with that some wine drinkers would disagree with. While these "rules" might be proffered by many "wine experts", in order to be NPOV complaint, we need to make it clear they don't represent a universal opinion or universally accept rule. The section needs to be rewritten to source any rules/advice about how to serve dessert wine including what to serve it with (or not) to reliable wine experts/books/magazines. --108.239.8.149 (talk) 15:52, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
