It usually is because if you were eating a sweet dessert and went to drink non-dessert wine, the wine could taste sour or bitter compared to the dessert you are eating. So, usually dessert wines are sweeter.
A dessert wine is a wine that it is sweeter than other wines. The dryness of a wine is measured in numbers with a one being a dryer wine and most of the sugar content has been converted into alcohol. The higher the number the sweeter the wine.
Generally 3-oz. Dessert wines are much sweeter and more expensive then regular reds or whites so the serving size is a bit smaller then the average size of a more "common" wine which would be 5 oz.
Mascato tends to be a sweeter white and all white dessert wines are sweet.
An aromatic wine is a fortified wine (have added brandy or wine alcohol, and is usually sweeter than regular wine), but is distinct from a fortified wine in that it is also flavored with herbs, roots, flowers and/or barks. it is considered an aperitif (served before dinner as a digestive stimulant).

Port is a fortified wine, which means it is more alcoholic and therefore sweeter than regular wine. Tawny ports have their grapes aged in wooden barrels. The word tawny on a label indicates age, 10, 20, 30, or 40 years old. Tawny ports can be sweet or medium dry. A dry port wine will not be tawny, but less sweeter.

White cooking wine is supposed to taste like a dry white wine, while a sauterne cooking wine will be much sweeter. Sauterne wines are dessert wines, so are very sweet; but add nice flavor to sauces for meats such as pork or chicken. I prefer to use real wine, not "cooking wine", and the commercial made cooking wines are full of preservatives and are usually sweeter than the real thing. Just remember to use a good wine, one you would drink, because when you cook with it, it will reduce and concentrate in flavor. If you start with a bad tasting wine, you'll just end up with a concentrated bad tasting wine.
