The obvious choice here is a port wine. True ports come from Portugal and are made from the gamay grape. They are heavy-bodied, sweet and high in alcohol due to fortification (extra alcohol is added during fermentation). Otherwise, sweet red wines are not in great demand for drinking, so you could use a drier, but fruty wine such as a pinot noir or bergamais and add a bit of brandy to up the alcohol and a bit of sugar to up the sweetness.

Can you substitute dry wine for sweet wine for a recipe?
I would never recommend it It would depend on the recipe. If the wine is for a sweet dish, then it may be necessary to add a little sugar as well to bring the recipe back into balance. Dry wines may also be higher in acid, and this can be of benefit in some recipes: such as stocks, sauces, risottos and soups as it helps to develop the complexity of other ingredients.
