I'm not a very good when it comes to a nice tasting wine. I need suggestions as to what type of red wine to buy someone for their 50th birthday. She really enjoys a good tasting wine & I know nothing about purchasing it. I'm not looking to spend a lot of money, but don't want cheap wine either. Maybe $10-$30.00 if that's possible?

if this person usually drinks red wine, chances are they'll want something rich and full bodied, like a cabernet or a merlot. you may be able to find a pinot noir that satisfies their taste, but zinfandel and beaujolais will probably be too light bodied and fruity. a great cab from california, if you can find it, is hess estate. another nice one is alexander valley (thats the name of the winery, not the area it's grown). alexander valley also makes a beautiful merlot.

Pundragon we could have all copied and pasted.
A very nice mellow red wine comes from southern Australia. It's called Pennfolds. The one I like the best is called Kanunga Hill, about 10 dollars. They also make a Bin 28 which costs about 20-25 dollars. It's GREAT!!! Try it, most red wine drinkers really enjoy it.

Try "Seven Deadly Zins" out of Lodi, Ca.
It is a GREAT wine, tasty and smooth...mmm...AND it has a great story that I will now tell....
Seven of Lodi's best growers gave their souls and the firstfruits of each of their old vine vineyards to contribute to the layered complexity of this fanciful blend. Soft, supple pepper and licorice-clove notes merge into a sinful marriage of deep, brambly blackberries and lustful cherries. The finish is clean on the palate with hints of rich vanilla, cocoa, and mild tannins.
Good luck!

Merlot and Pinot Noir are both popular and reasonably prices red wines.

I would say that would depend on the persons particular tastes. There are many good reds for that price range. A good cabernet or pinot noir are good choices.

I am saying Bacio Divino Cab (Napa, 99 or 98).
Means, "Divine Kiss", big, tannic, everything you want in a fifty year old.
I would kiss you twice!

Beaujolais is a great red wine.
