High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A vin de liqueur is a sweet fortified style of French wine. The term "vin de liqueur" is also used by the European Union to refer to all fortified wines. These wines are similar to vins doux naturels but are fortified just prior to fermentation and are sweeter, with more flavor influence from the added brandy. A vin de liqueur is usually served as an aperitif. Just prior to the onset of fermentation, the grape must is fortified with brandy until the solution reaches an alcohol level of 16%–22%. The resulting wine is left with a high level of residual sugar because most strains of yeast cannot reproduce at such a high alcohol level. Vins de liqueur are available in many regional styles and varieties of grape. Grapes from the Champagne region are used for the production of ratafia.
