Whats a good bottle of red wine?

Question

I am looking for a good bottle of red wine that isn't dry. I want something that is fruity and a bit sweet. And not those types like Arbor Mist, etc. Not too expensive either. Would appreciate your responses.

Answer 1

Anything from Weston Vinyards is so good.

Answer 2

Try a Beaujolais Nouveau. They are inexpensive and right now is the peak season. Below is a little more detail, more complete information is available at the web link below.

.......Apart from the fanfare, what makes Beaujolais Nouveau so popular? And especially in the U.S. where consumption of red wine is less than 30%? Simply put, Beaujolais Nouveau is as about as close to white wine as a red wine can get. Due to the way it is made—the must is pressed early after only three days—the phenolic compounds, in particular the astringent tannins, normally found in red wines, isn't there, leaving an easy to drink, fruity wine. This, coupled with the fact that it tastes best when chilled, makes for a festive wine to be gulped rather than sipped, enjoyed in high spirits rather than critiqued. As a side note, it makes a great transitional wine for anyone wanting to move from white to red wines.

Answer 3

If you can find a Sangiovise, they are light, a little fruity and sweet but I don't see them very often...that's a wine type not a vineyard.

In the wine store look at the descriptions for "berries, cherries and fruity". Try looking at the Pinot Noirs and Merlots...And ask the folks at the wine shop, they're the experts!

Reds are not really known for sweetness...If you can switch to white a white zinfandel is sweet and fruity, usually pretty inexpensive, can be served with ice and with mixers for wine drinks.

You could also look at Sangrias, which is a fruit/wine mix. I've never had a store bought one I liked but have had some homemade and in restaraunts that were great.

Answer 4

I love A -Mano Primitivo! It's about $13. It's a plummy, medium bodied Italian wine with low tannins. Believe it or not- it goes great with pizza but it is still substantial enough to to be paired with more elegant dishes. It's a very nice wine for those who are transitioning from the very sweet, very fruit forward wines, such as Yellow Tail or Arbor Mist to demi sweet or dry wines such as Cabernet Sauvignon. I have a nice collection of wines but my red of choice is always Primitivo.

Answer 5

You might want to try a Pinot Noir. There are many great wines out there for under $15 especially when the market has them on sale. Concannon (Livermore), Gallo of Sonoma (Sonoma) and La Crema (California) are all great wines. If you are a little more daring, i recommend the Toad Hollow Pinot Noir Rose (Vin Gris). It looks like a White Zin but does not taste like it at all! Cheers!!!
