I'm wanting to know what kind of wine is good to drink alone. Most I have tried are too bitter to drink without food. I'm new to drinking wine so bring on the suggestions :0)

hm. First of all, wine isn't so much about the price of the bottle, but quality. I usually stay away from red wines if I am not eating. Don't go too cheap (i.e. mad dog, the crap in a box, boone's, etc.)
try a good dessert wine. They are made to be drunk as the name implies, as a dessert.
A nice wet sweet white wine from california is what I recommend.
Try pinot grigio (it is not a brand but a style). It is white, sweet (not tart) wet and tastes great as a stand-alone. If you have to go cheap, don't buy any thing less than carlo rossi, but I recommend a pinot grigio from sonoma or napa valley california.
Cheers!

Good Wines To Drink Alone

Why do you want to drink alone? Red wines go with red meat typically, and white wines go with fish, and seafood. Also to find a less bitter wine try chardoney.

Hmm.. red/white?
Do you prefer smooth wines/a little spicy? If you prefer lighter, go with a light fruity merlot/sparkling white...or for a full-bodied wine, try a deeper Shiraz, but blends are the absolute best. WA state has some great blends out Cab/Shiraz/Merlot blends...seem to have a great balance of fruit & smoother. Italian/French reds are great, try a mild/smooth Cote du Rhone. Can find some inexpensive decent wines at the market.

Ripple or M.D. 20/20 are nice delicate wines to drink alone or maybe some Sweet Lucy another good choice.

the extra clever translations all say the elder/bishop/shepherd/overseer, or although you call the team of leaders of the church, is to no longer be under the effect of alcohol, yet does not say he can not have a tumbler of wine along with his meal. 1Timothy 3:a million right that's a truthful asserting: If all of us units his heart on being an overseer, he needs a noble job. 2 Now the overseer must be above reproach, the husband of yet one spouse, temperate, self-controlled, first rate, hospitable, waiting to coach, 3 no longer given to drunkenness, no longer violent yet soft, no longer quarrelsome, no longer a lover of money........ 1Ti 3:8 Deacons, likewise, are to be men worth of comprehend, truthful, no longer indulging in lots wine, and not pursuing cheating income. Titus a million:7 An elder ought to stay a harmless life with the aid of fact he's God’s minister. He should not be boastful or rapid-tempered; he should not be a heavy drinker, violent, or grasping for money.

German wines such as reislings tend to have a sweeter taste, which may be more palatable to someone just starting on wines with an aversion to the more bitter wines.

Well, I read the whole question. If you are having wine without food, not without guests. then try your favorite sweet wine, usually chilled, not cold. And maybe you just don't like wine. That's okay too.

White Zinfendel is a great wine for sipping all alone. Also san grias can be very nice. sweet with lots of fruity flavors.

A nice dessert wine. Reislings and Gewurtzramieners are excellent. I don't like how sweet Chardonnays are so I like the spice of a Gewurtzramiener.
