I really like Riesling
Seconding spatlese and gerwurtzraminer, lovely sweet wines!
You’d get more bang for your buck with Sprite and vodka.

Well I learned something new!
Rieslings from the finger lakes or New Zealand sauv blancs 👌
Both can be dry so have to pick the right ones if you have a sweet tooth
Anything from this maker is pretty good
Agree. These are great. I especially like the sparkling Riesling.
chateau ste michelle makes a good riesling
Their late harvest Riesling is SO so good!
Chateau Ste Michelle Riesling or late harvest, if you want even sweeter!
If you live near Ogilvy’s soon-to-be old offices in NYC, Veritas Wine Studio is an easy-going wine shop to ask for reasonably priced recommendations.
If you live near Ogilvy’s soon-to-be new offices in NYC, Bottlerocket is another great, approachable shop.

Do you have a trader’s joe where you live? Just try riesling and moscato from different brands, range from $5 to $20 per bottle
Honestly, a lot of the finger lakes producers pump out sweet white wines that are probably what you’re looking for. They’re not my cup of tea so I can’t vouch for the taste, but as someone who grew up in western New York, I can assure you that there is more to sweet white wine than Barefoot. Lots of finger lakes wineries make a lot of their money off of selling this cheap, sweet wine by volume, so you will definitely be able to find what you want.

Besides drinking dessert wine, you are likely not going to find very many imports that would satisfy your sweet tooth. There are probably some different classes of Riesling that you might like (ex. Beerenauslese or trockenbeerenauslese), but those will cost some extra green.
I Stan for Kim Crawford like no others, but I doubt that you will like it based on your comments - so try it, but don’t buy a case of it yet.
Lastly, I really appreciate that you own your preference for sweet whites. Wine is meant to be fun, so don’t ever let some bozo try to ‘fix’ you. Cheers!
Spent time in the area as well and if I can add one sweet wine to the list, it would be Thirsty Owl’s Diamond.

Ice wines are very sweet. Also, try Bartenura Moscato. It’s almost grape juice because the alcohol content is so low they don’t even have to display the amount on the bottle. Very sweet and bubbly though.
Pinot Grigio and Muscato tends to be sweet. Same with White Zinfandel too! I really enjoy Gewurztraminer.
Pinot Grigio can be very dry / crisp. This is where it helps to go to a local wine shop, someone who knows exactly what they're selling vs guessing based on varietal.
Drink red
Try some mead for a change.

Love Gewurtztraminer and ice wines.
Espiral Vhino Verde from Trader Joe’s - less than $10 but amazing. Also Lambrusco from Trader Joe’s (that one is sparkling red though).
I like the almond sparkling wine by Wilson Creek but you can also add Splenda to whatever a la Michael Scott 🥂
