Bring a red wine that is generally liked. Research popular flavors of wine. Merlot is always a safe guess.

Something that you like and would recommend is nice. DON'T expect it to be served however. The wine is selected to go with the meal so your wine should be treated as a nice gift to be enjoyed by the host and hostess at another time. Don't be offended if they don't open it at this time. People sometimes don't understand that the "hostess" gift is exactly that...not an addition to the dinner. Have fun and be gracious.
My own personal gift of choice is usually a dessert wine or a bottle of White Star champagne along with a box of fine chocolates and a note that thanks the host and hostess and suggests that they enjoy the champagne and chocolates together.

First you have to find out if the person throwing the dinner party drinks alcohol. We do not drink, and several times I have had people bring a very nice wine, that will never be consumed. Pesonally, I think flowers are a great thing to bring, or even a candle!

Always bring the wine you like.
There are foodies out there that believe wine should be paired with food. This is not true, drink what you like with whatever you're eating. It's just food !!
I suggest a nice Australian Shiraz. Mild yet flavorful, nice berry enhancement, goes good with everything.
Penfolds Bin 28
Try it !!

As was previously stated, you can almost never go wrong with a desert wine! And don't expect it to be opened that night. If desert wines aren't your thing, a red wine is always appreciated. Either a Merlot such as Eco Domani or Kendal Jackson are always a good choice, or you could go with a Shiraz such as Fat Bastard, which is quite good.

a lot of it has to do with the host ...have you any idea if the host enjoys wine and if so what type red white dry or sweet .... I you have no idea buy a nice mid priced white like La Crema chardonnay and the host will be pleased

If you know what they will be serving, bring a wine that compliments the food. No wines in boxes or jugs! LOL

properly I’m not too attentive to white wines yet whilst they ask you to hold wine and don’t extremely specify what variety I recommend "Peju Provence" it’s made interior the Napa Valley. that's a uncommon mix of white and pink wine varietals, it is something like a lighter extra floral pinot noir, dry yet fruit-forward, with notes of cherries, strawberries or maybe cranberries. i'd propose taking 2 bottles (Its $22 a bottle)

if you can ask what the menu is, bring the wine to match the menu... red wine with red meats, white wine with chicken, prok, fish, etc..
however, if that's old fashioned, then bring anything you like that's good! champagne is always nice as well, i think...
