Recommended wine: Port

Fruit Cake can be paired with Port. A common wine pairing rule is to make sure your wine is sweeter than your food. Delicate desserts go well with Moscato d'Asti, nutty desserts with cream sherry, and caramel or chocolate desserts pair well with port. You could try NV Mission Mountain Winery Cocoa Vin Port. Reviewers quite like it with a 5 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 19 dollars per bottle.
