Moscato d'Asti is a sparkling Italian dessert wine; any other sparkling wine can be substituted.
Pour the sugar into a shallow dish. Run a lemon wedge around rim of a champagne flute. Invert the flute, and dip into the sugar, coating entire rim. Set flute aside, and repeat with five more flutes.
Place the cherries in a medium bowl. Using the back of a wooden spoon, slightly crush the cherries. Divide cherries evenly among flutes, and fill with Moscato. Serve.
