I believe it holds 4 bottles of wine. I would certainly like to buy a few bottles, however I know absolutely nothing about wines other than the fact that white zinfandel gives me a terrible headache.

I would like to get a few good brands as many of my friends love wine - and I would eventually like to serve it.
I don’t want to get cheapo brands (that will show my ignorance of wine) but I am also on a budget and can’t get majorly expensive wines that are going to break the bank.

Can anyone suggest some good tasting, reasonably priced wines that I can start my collection with?

I need some help finding a wine that I’ll like. I know very little about wine and am, therefore, having trouble finding one. There are a few wines that I really enjoy, but they’re hard to find online and in my local liquor stores. I’m trying to find something a little more accessible. Here are my favorite wines:

Stella Rosa Il Conte D’Alba: its a reds blend wine made in California. Is sweet and fruity

Moscato Rubino: red muscat that is very sweet and fruity.

Alba Vineyards blueberry: fruit wine that is very sweet.

My main thing is that I’m not a true red wine drinker because I only like the sweet red wine. I can’t stand the bitter taste in most red wines. I DON’T like port, sherry, white zinfandel, ice wines, or any other white wines. Please only suggest really sweet red wines. If possible name a specific wine, not just a variety.

This is how the ad describes the taste: "White Zinfandel offers lush aromas and bright fruit flavors of fresh summer berries. On the palate, lovely raspberry and strawberry notes mingle with touches of honeysuckle and sweet spice." Now that just sounds sublime, however, when I try to appreciate wine, it just tastes like sour grapes to me. How do you drink it to get this effect?

I am going to make my own wine label for my Aunt’s Birthday present to put on a wine bottle. I am looking for ideas for a name of the wine and a slogan for the wine. I do not want anything that is offensive or in the meaning of "old" or "over the hill" she is very vein about her age so I want something classy.
Send me your ideas
I’m looking for something more creative then putting her name and birthdate on the label. I want something that does not insinuate that she is "old, vintage" there must be a classier way to go about it. The wine I will be using is white zinfandel. I don’t want to put Geri’s Zinfandel on the label. Come on put ur creative hat and let me know what u come up with.

Mine is 2006 White Zinfandel-Chardonnay, Premier Vineyard Selection by Beringer. It’s fruity and sweet and not too tart or bitter. I’m just learning about wine but I had a glass of this at cafe near my home and fell in love w/ it.

I am an avid church goer, have been all my life, thanks mom :o), anyway, my question is just out of curiosity because that little bit of watered down "blood of christ" is the only type of wine that doesn't make me sick and I want to know what kind it is (or usually is). It's usually pink like a white zinfandel or chardonnay, but I'm not sure.. Any ideas?
