Douglas, red wines tend to be dry rather than sweet. There are a few
sweet reds, which are dessert wines, but these are usually very
expensive because they are rare. There are some examples produced in
California, and maybe in Canada (I'm in UK). Try a search based on
"red wines dessert" and see what you get. I wonder why you specify
sweet, did the doctor say this, or is that the wine style you like?
