A vin de liqueur is a sweet fortified style of French wine that is fortified with brandy just prior to fermentation. The term vin de liqueur is also used by the European Union to refer to all fortified wines.
These wines are similar to vins doux naturels but are sweeter and have more flavor influence from the added brandy. A vin de liqueur is usually served as an apéritif.
