What's a good, fruity wine for a first time drinker?

Question

My girlfriend, who has never drunk in the past, will be attending a party with me that is byob. The party is called "Winefest" and although any type of alcohol is ok, she wants to try wine. She says she likes raspberry, strawberry or citrus.

What type of wine cooler would be tasty?

Answer 1

White Zinfandel

Answer 2

Fruity Wine Brands

Answer 3

For the first time drinker and cheap and taking into account it's a BYOB "Boones Farm" it's light, it's fruity and not thick like regular wines perfect for a beginner, may I recomend Kountry Kwencher, strawberry daquari or one of there fruity wines (Boones Farm is a apple based wine not a grape based wine) easy on her stomach and usually runs from $3 to $4 a bottle. Don't buy wine coolers for less price you get more beverage and higher alcohol content (wine coolers are 5.6% and wines are 17%) plus your girlfriend said she wanted to try wine not a wine cooler.

Answer 5

First time drinkers tend to like sweeter drinks where the alcohol is less detectable. Buy her some spumante champagne. (Cook's sells a decent cheap bottle -about $5- in any grocery store) Spumante is a sweet type of champange, as opposed to a Brut which is dryer. She'll feel comfortable around her peers holding a glass of champagne and it will taste a lot better to her than a good wine. (Save the wine coolers for a casual bbq)

Answer 6

Are you talkin wine or wine cooler
I just tried the smirnoff ice berry flavored wine cooler the other day really good, also my friend says the rasberry is the bombdiggidy

Wine-for a girl and a first timer you want to get a Riesling it's the best~ any brand'l do but Bookwalter Riesling is the best in my opinion

Answer 7

White Zinfandel is typically the wine of choice for people looking to "get into" wine. It is a rose color, with very sweet tastes. The only problem that some people encounter with this varietal, is that it is hard to get away from. It does not accurately represent wine and people are typically turned off by other wines. She can try a Riesling and that would be a softer, semi-sweet wine to get started. as for wine coolers, its personal taste. If she likes raspberry, strawberry or citrus, then that is what she should drink.

Answer 9

Chardonnay, I am not a big wine drinker, but this is lighter and sweeter than a red wine. White Zinfadels are also very good.

Answer 10

I am going to answer this question strictly from the point of view of etiquette. To plan on drinking your own bottle, even if the party is BYOB, is rather tacky. It's so much more fun to share and sample what others have brought.

In Finland it is acceptable to keep it to yourself (because taxes on alcohol there are astronomical), but in North America it is just plain self-centered to do so.

So bring what you think the other guests will enjoy, and let your girlfriend try a little of everything.

Now for a specific wine recommendation:

In my entertaining experience, just about everyone really enjoys a German Riesling from the Mosel region. Get one that says on the label "spatlese" or "kabinett" which is a sign of quality. They are naturally sweet because they are made from super-ripe grapes, not because of added sugar.

Mosel wines are so delicious that a beginner can appreciate them, and so high quality and complex that a connoisseur will be asking for more.
