Sweet-red “types” are grape, residual sugar, or a fortified class — not a 16-best list. Lambrusco, Brachetto, and late-harvest reds are appellation or harvest talk. Port-style and other fortified reds sit in a different alcohol band. US table wine is 27 CFR Part 4. Typical lots sit near 12% Official brand residual-sugar grams unused as a crown.
