Jag vet att starkviner översätts Dessert wines. Problemet är att i menyn jag översätter finns det en annan lista med "Dessertviner", som ju också översätts till Dessert wines. Finns det något annat ord för Starkvin?

Dessert Wines
Dessert wines in the US are wines like sherry, and port. Anything else would simply be wine, and then categorized by the kind, Red, White, Blush, or furhter categorized by the grape names, such as Cabernet, Merlot, etc. In the US, fortified wine is the cheap stuff with vitamins added so that the bums don't starve, or get rickets. If I saw "fortified wine" on a menu, I would laugh myslef out of the chair. My family is in the restaurant business, and we have wine. I have a lot of experience with menus, and menu development.

: Not doubting your experiences, I didn't see any mention of bums in the googles i found for "fortified wine", e.g. a ref as American as the Houston Chronicle, http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/food/lonsford/24610...

: Im sure you're right in US. In UK, sherry and port are definitely called fortified wines, and what you call "fortified wine" is sometimes called "British wine" - wine made in UK from foreign grape juice, then fortified with alcohol.
