I much prefer sweeter wines to dry wines and I need something fairly inexpensive. What will go well with a glalzed ham?

Fetzer Valley Oaks Gewurztraminer
Columbia Crest Johannisburg/Columbia Valley Riesling
Just a bit sweeter and a nice match for glaze would be Hogue Johannisburg Riesling. Hogue also makes a great Gewurztraminer
J. Lohr Bay Mist Riesling
Kendall-Jackson Vintner's Reserve Riesling
Everything on this list is less than $10 a bottle.

If there is a sweet glaze on the ham and there are other sweet side dishes, then you will do best with an off dry white like a German Riesling.
German rieslings are classified according to their sweetness, which is determined by how late the grapes are harvested, and therefore the amount of residual sugar. The order, from driest to sweetest is Kabinett, Spatlese, Auslese, Beerenauslese, Trockenbeerenauslese, Eiswein.
Your best bet would be a Spatlese or Auslese. You could probably get a bottle in the 20-30 dollar range. A good Kabinett could be had for less.
Joyeux Noel!

I like Electra it come in an Red or a white it is a sweet wine & cost about $9.00 a bottle. ElectraElectra – With the first sip you feel the wine; light as springtime, delicately sweet, refreshingly crisp, a bouquet of flowers with the taste of peach and melon. Electra is electricity for the mouth!
Red ElectraRed Electra – For several years, some of our avid Electra fans have been asking for a red version of Electra. In the year 2000 we had fun making a small batch, about 500 cases. The reception was so overwhelming, it flew out the doors. The wine even received a double gold medal at the San Francisco Fair. It has continued to take flight and win medals ever since. . .

Ham is a toughie because it is usually very salty. That means big reds are out as well as chardonnays and other dry whites. I'd go for a Riesling, even a Gewurztraminer. And for reds, Beaujolais or Pinot Noir. Price won't be an issue with the Riesling.
