Jokes aside, we italians do actually drink Moscato d’Asti with cakes or pastry on good occasions. It’s not a regular wine, it’s a highly sweet one, which we drink either alongside another sweet food (again, cakes, pastry, sometimes even Pandoro, but it’s much less common with Panettone), or alone.
(Certainly not with Cap’n Crunch tho, but if that’s your thing, Moscato d’Asti is the one)

So y’all drink a sweet wine to go along with sweets? Seems far too sweet.
The issue is the contrast between a sweet, rich dessert and dry wine makes the wine taste sour and unappetizing.
Not sure how you can drink that grape. “Highly sweet” is mega underselling how sickeningly sweet it is.
I like moscato.
Manischewitz Concord wine is sickeningly sweet though. The only reason people drink that is TRADITION.
I don’t know if that clears it, but you don’t chug it, you sip it.
