Joz said:What wine would you reccomend for someone who doesn't drink or doesn't particularly like the 'wine' taste? I've tried expensive champagne and local bar wine. I did try a rapsberry zin that was palatable to me, at a wedding (we were working) about 4 years ago but have never been able to find it. It alway looks so inviting, and there are times when I'd like to appear grown up & sociable.
Actually, the dimple on the bottom of the bottle has nothing to do w/ the quality of the wine inside.
Best rule of thumb? Stay away from the mainstream "grocery store" brands when you don't know what you're looking for.
I'd recommend starting with Reisling - not a Johanasburg as theyr'e too dry for most folks starting out in wine... but just a standard Reisling...
If you like sweet, try looking for "Late Harvest" or "Ice Wine" - those are classified as "dessert wines" because they have a very high residual sugar.
If you want to try a Red wine to start with - look for Pinot Nior - they're very forgiving for wine newbies as they don't have the heavy tannin found in Cabs and Merlots..
