Wine Quiz Answer: C. A benevolent fungus attacks the grapes which can result in sweet wine.
A benevolent fungus attacks the grapes which can result in sweet wine also know as botrytis. The most famous botrytis wines come from the region of Sauternes in Bordeaux, France, although this style of wine also is found in Hungary and Germany. The best known of all is Château d’Yquem. Botrytis affects grapes in humid weather and gives them a honeyed aroma. These wines will age for decades to distinction.
