Whats the best red wine to give to a beginner?

Answer 1

you didnot mention your country. anyway, In india colconda and Port wines are famous for beginers.

Answer 2

The best is an easy drinking red, you will most commonly find this in blend's. Shiraz is too strong, but a nice merlot or semillon can be a good choice. Go for an averaged priced bottle, in wine is the rule as well the higher priced, the more prizes, but as well the taste will be more specific. Young wines are in general quite fruity and light to drink as well.

Answer 3

Once again, everyone missed the beaujolais...A french beaujolais is a true grape varietal that has been around for centuries. This is one of the lightest, fruity wines you can find without getting into too much residual sugars like the kool-aide type wines from Riunite, Arbor Mist, Wild Vines, and the cheap (note that I did not say inexpensive) ports.

Answer 4

If you are looking at under $15, try

House Red
Six Prong Red
Chiaramonte
Cycles Gladiator Syrah


All are great buys and quite tasty for the price! None are too strong to scare away beginners and they are all great table wines. : )

Answer 5

Reunite's Royal Raspberry! Chilled Ice Cold!

Answer 6

Pinot Noir is a good red wine to start with - it's a bit sweeter, not as many tannins as the other reds.

Answer 7

if you like sweet, start with Lambrusco, should be consumed cold...great started red wine; i'd recommend going to a wine tasting when you see them advertised. It's a good way to try new things and find out what you like

Try Little Penguin's Cabernet Savignon
