i too love sweet wines . tempernillo is delicious . also bottles that say rose on it will be sweet. or a chianti is good and sweet. port is nice sweet but thick. you can sweeten up wines by adding 7-up or sprite. and making a spritzer. also try going to a wine shop by your house many will have tasting for free , that will help you explore your palate.
have you ever had sangria? it is a very tasty mixture of wine fruit and liqueur. great for parties

California merlot, cabernet and barbera are excellent red wines, that you can find reasonably at the grocery store. But, they're NOT sweet. They're meant to be eaten with your meal, not as a dessert wine (although they're great with dark chocolate too). You might try a Port, if you want a red sweeter wine for dessert

red and sweet aren't too common together

i would suggest either a blended red where they don't give specific grape names like Cabernet or such... they tend to be a little sweeter... or go with cheaper wine like Arbor Mist, or one of those other bargain wines.

Most of the red wines are not that much sweeter,generally they are grapes wine ,so little sweet.Its better go for some other wine then you will definitely get sweeter wine.
