can some one give me the 411 on wine what is good what is not i dont know what type to buy?

Answer 1

That really depends on what you like.
I prefer a Pinoit Grigio

Answer 2

It totally depends on what you will be drinking it with and how much you want to spend. Everything I will list here is good and inexpensive. I have bought a LOT of wine and these are the tried and true varieties. If you want a dry white, try Barefoot chardonay, or Silverlake Pino Grisio
If you want sweet white go with Covey Run Muscatto, or Obsession Symphony. Dry red I reccomend Alice White Cabernet Sauvingion, or Chateu st Michelle Pino Noir.
Sweet red, Yellowtail Merlot, or Woodbridge Shiraz.
Try experimenting. cost doesn't always indicate the quality of a wine. I have had good wines at 5 bucks a bottle and bad wines at 40. You may want to join a wine club if you only want to drink good wine and don't want to chance finding yucky ones. Most of them offer low prices(about 12 dollars a bottle) and have a staff of experienced wine tasters that try hundreds of bottles each month and only pick the best to send to customers. Also going to wineries(if you happen to be on the west coast that is) and tasting all their different varieties is a good way to find ones you like without having to buy a whole bottle untasted. I've gotten very into wine the last couple of years and this is my favorite method of choosing new favorites. anyway I wish you the best of luck.

Answer 3

Go wine tasting. Vinters and merchants sponsor them. They give you information, let you taste about 3 to 10 different types. Sometimes they charge, sometimes they don't. They want you to taste the wine so that if you like it you'll buy it. Go on several different wine tasting outings. You need to figure out what you like.

Check your State and those around you. Very often there are wine trails or lists of wineries that give wine tastings. Check the classifieds for wine tasting events. Ask your wine merchant about any upcoming wine tastings.

Good luck!

Answer 4

The 411 lame!

Answer 5

I work for a winery, My best advice if you don't know what you like is to start with whites, there are many different kinds, some better that others ( all personal choice ) , and if you think you're looking for a little something more, try reds. The cool thing about wine is you like what you like and nobody can tell you what you don't like, even if it's $5 a bottle (not ours).

Answer 6

Depends on your tastes! There really aren't any rules. Try buying some inexpensive ones and different kinds to try them out. You can find all kinds of decent wines for less than $10, often around $5-$7 a bottle depending on where you live. Check out Trader Joes if you live near one...they'll even help you out! http://www.traderjoes.com/

Answer 7

As a general rule of thumb, Australian wines are good flavor and low price. Try several of reds and whites and see what you like to start, then explore into pricier ones when you know what suits your palette. Don't be fussy about pairing the "perfect" wine with your food - just drink them and see if you like it! And as always, wine goes best with good company.

Answer 8

You should start off with a sweeter wine, reds are nice Or you can try a Blush it isn't as horrible. Depends on food as to what you 'should' drink but I enjoy most wines with any type of food.

Answer 9

There are many new restaurants that are devoted to wine. Check your area, get some friends together and go to one. They will recommend wines for you to try and most have tastings. Some have regular tasting nights so you can explore at leisure.

Answer 10

A little known fact you will need to know. The lower the alcohol percentage, the sweeter the wine!!
