Wine snobbery is bullshit. If you like sweet wines enjoy them, and screw what is considered 'superior'. Wine is for pleasure and should not be for anything else.
Are you reffering to white or red or both?
Sweet and dry are very broad and rough descriptive terms, Chardonay & Sav Blanc can come across as sharp and acidic if they are heavily 'oaked' or pehaps not very well made, Reisling can be pretty sharp if the vintage is poor (too much rain, too cold etc) Wines like Pinot Grigio always taste a bit sharp to me.
Reds are more my area and I could go on and on.
I get a bit over excited by wine
A sweet wine to me is a Dessert wine like Port, Sherry, Gewurtztrammier, Botrytis
Next time you find a wine you like post it on here and I will see if I can come up with something you might like (cheap as I can). If you like beer and whiskey your palate should be up for some fairly 'big' flavour, sounds like tannins are the issue.
