    It’s also because more of the sugar in the drink has been eaten by yeast and turned into alcohol.

      Kinda. A lot of times the sweet varieties have just had sugar added back in to backsweeten it.

      You can do that with beer too. It’s pretty common for sweet varieties like honey ales to backsweeten after fermentation.
