Cunning linguistics

What terminology does one use to describe that too sweet, Benylin-like flavour of cheap red wine, the kind with a slightly bitter aftertaste? The word that comes to my mind is "plonky".

I'm sure some of you have more appropriate oenolinguistic bons mots to share.

I can't help you there, Lorne. As you know, I enjoy my cheap red wine on the dry side ;-)
