I love Pinot Noir (from Burgundy), but I'm afraid it can be too thin and subtle for certain foods (not to mention expensive!). On the opposite end are big rich fruit bombs that can be too heavy and strong, and overwhelm delicate food. So, I guess my answer is medium-bodied wines such as : Columbia Crest (Grand Estates, Washington state) Cabernet Sauvignon ($11) or Salice Salentino (by the producer Taurino, Italy, $7.99)

A really good wine for everyday drinking as well as cooking is the Grand Estates Merlot from Columbia Crest in Washington.
It usually receives a very good rating from Wine Spectator magazine, usually around 90 points out of 100. It can age for 3-5 years in most vintages. Best of all, it is very affordable, around $15 a bottle. You could buy it by the case and have it around for everyday drinking, cooking and it is good enough to hold up to serious entertaining as well.

General use? I presume you want to cook as well as drink!
If so, listen to this, it's a simple rule!!!
Never, never cook with a wine you wouldn't drink!!

I'd suggest a Cabernet Sauvignon.
