Difference between Table, Dessert and Sparkling Wines

In reference to the various wines, we all are well aware of table, dessert and sparkling wine. Most of the people don’t understand the difference between these. Each type of the wine refers to a different form. In this article, we will shed some light over these wines and elaborate the difference. Table wines are assumed as the light wine, as they do not contain a higher amount of the alcohol than others. According to the law in the United States of America and Europe, they must not contain the alcohol more than 14%. Therefore, if you particularly believe in taking less alcohol, the table wines are made for you. By the law, if a wine does not contain greater than 14% alcohol and is not bubbly, then it is a table wine. The grapes are grown in various types of climates, hence contain different sugar levels. Therefore, after the fermentation process, they end up with lower or higher level of alcohol. The Wines that contain more than 14% alcohol are called as dessert wines. The reason behind is that the grapes used in this wine have a high concentration of sugar, therefore required higher amount of alcohol. These wines are usually consumed after dinner. These are dark and sweet in nature. Therefore, they are called as dessert wines in the U.S. In the Europe, they are known as the liqueur wines.
