Right, quite the opposite is true: If you have very much sun or harvest the grapes late, the wines get sweet. So "Spätlese" (late harvest), "Auslese" (you pick the best grapes), "Beerenauslese" (even more "picked" than Auslese) or "Eiswein" ("very late harvest - you wait till the first frost") are usually sweeter than the standard wines. But you hardly drink those coincidentally (unless you do not look at price tags...).
Yeah . . . I know about German-style dessert wine classification.

Ah . . . I didn't notice the 'or a speciality' in your original post.

I'm not sure I drink any wine coincidentally
