For most palates, sweet wine is very cloying except when served with a desert, and [regular] wine is far too acidic to be enjoyed with a desert. Not everyone agrees, but that is the standard usage. They are also made from different grape varieties, and grown in separate climes: sweet wine grapes are grown in a colder climate (think northern Rhine Valley and Niagara Peninsula) than regular wine grapes. | |
