Wine Guide
Gewürztraminer
Gewürztraminer is like the grown-up version of Moscato. It's lower in acidity, has more punchy aromatics, and higher alcohol content. It's tell-tale sign is the lychee or sweet rose aroma that makes it identifiable in a blind tasting.
9 Styles of Wine
Most of us started by taking or stealing a sip from daddy's glass, or being forced into it at a college party. Whether you liked it or hated it, that's your good/bad journey beginning, and your first exposure to the vast world of wine. Quite quickly you learn there's very few wines that taste the same, and you probably might not like a lot of them, even those that your friends recommend.

Fortified Wines - Sherry, Port, Madeira & more
Made by adding grape brandy to a wine, fortified wines can often be barrel aged for years, and tend to have a much longer shelf life once opened due to the higher alcohol content
While fortified wines are often treated as a type of dessert wine, it's so vast that it deserves a category on it's own. They can either be dry or sweet, but because of the deep complexity to their profile, as well as the weight of the alcohol & body, it's usually treated as a post dinner drink.
