Bartenura Moscato D'Asti

Price: $11
Type: Moscato D'Asti
Cork: Plain Natural
Rating: 7
Purchased: Jungle Jim's International Market

This sweet dessert wine comes in an attractive blue bottle with pretty map front piece. To my surprise, I'm giving it a 7. Why surprised? Because it's a kosher wine. Passover is around the corner, so I'm looking for kosher wines which don't taste like sugar fortified grape juice.

Like all Moscato's, this is a very sweet white wine, really best for after dinner drinks or sipping with dessert. It's lightly fermented, so it would also make a good alternative to Champagne. Because it is sweet and a little bubbly, it's a good choice for people who do not have a palate for wine. If they insist they'd rather have a Sprite, assure them this is only one step away. Furthermore, at only 5.9% alcohol (less than half an average wine) this is a good choice for people who want to indulge without getting tipsy.
