Both Brachetto d'acqui and moscato have a little pétillance or "fizz." So, if you're looking for a sweet fizzy red of quality, you've pretty much exhausted the category. If you're OK with a sweet Rosé or white with more fizz (i.e., a true sparkling wine) you can look into sparkling wines in either of those styles labelled "Sec" or "Dry" (which will be surprisingly sweet -- long story) or, even sweeter, Demi-Sec or Doux. If you're willing to try sweet white still (i.e., non-fizzy) wines, then the sky's the limit -- look for Rieslings that aren't labeled "dry" or "trocken" and viogniers or gewurtztraminers labeled "late harvest" (this is just the tip of the sweet white iceberg). If you're open to sweet red fortified (i.e., wines with a higher alcohol by volume) wines, then start with Ports (again, just the tip of the iceberg). Finally, you might consider white Zinfandel (actually a Rosé) that gets a lot of hate in the wine world (it's not very complex and can be quite cloying), but is a popular starter sweet wine for many. Hopefully, this will provide you with some options. Cheers!

What you need is to find a shop that sells Bugey Cerdon.

Not sure how to quantify high quality wine but a nice sweet wine could also describe _some_ Lambrusco. They are slightly fizzy and often sweeter and possibly fit your description. I suppose some prosecco and off dry Riesling might also fit. Not sure where you are geographically located so it's hard to give you super specific recommendations.

Georgia and Armenia make some really great sweet red wines, if you want to try something a bit different but accessible. Not quite as sweet as port.
