Sweet supermarket wine in UK?
I'm looking to bring a bottle of a very sweet wine to an informal gathering this month (there will be food, but I don't know the kind yet, and there will be other drinks as well so I'm not concerned about food pairings; I'm just bringing a bottle to share). I know *absolutely nothing* about wine, so I figured I'd ask some people who might know a bit more than me. I'm in the UK and would prefer to be able to pick it up from a major supermarket chain like Aldi, Morrison's, or Sainsbury's.
When I say sweet, I mean *sweet*. Sickeningly sweet. *Cloyingly* sweet. The kind of sweet that a wine snob would reject because "is this even fermented or is this just grape juice?" A glass of diabetes. Not sparkling, though; I'm looking for a still wine. Do not care if it's white or red, and hoping to spend less than ÂŁ20-25 for the bottle.
On the one hand, I've read reisling is a sweet variety. On the other, I've also been told it's dry. I've read ice wines are sweet, but I've also read that they're usually specialty wines and tend to be expensive. Can somebody help me out please?
