I would suggest that you try a Pinot Noir, as it is not as dry as a Shiraz, and it does not have the sublte sweetness of a Cabernet Sauvignon. However, you may be surprised if you try either of them and find out that they are not as dry or sweet as you may think. I think your brst bet would be a Pinot Noir. Happy drinking!

Hmmmm. I interpret that you actually do like dry, but with fruitiness: Try French Beaujolais or Gamay de Touraine or a lighter (which usually means the less expensive) Burgundy (applellation Bourgogne contrôllee) or similar pinot noir wines (not so much inexpensive) from California and Oregon (don't buy anything more than 12% alcohol). Further suggestions: a Penedes red from Spain, a Passetoutgrains from France, a Dole from Switzerland, Veronese wines (Bardolino, Valpolicella) from Italy..

Pinot Noir is always a good choice. Try Castle Rock or Steele from California. From France, drink Beaujolais Nouveau, Petit Syrah, Corbiere, Grenache or Gamay. From Italy Dolcetta, and Spain Rioja. You want fruity, not sweet. Shiraz from Australia or South Africa.

I would suggest trying a Pinot Grigio. Pinot Grigio is light and crispy with almond, lemon, and vanilla flavors. These wines are also called Pinot Gris. They have flavor without being sweet.
Another possibility would be Gewurtraminer. Gewurztraminer has a spicy aroma and fruity flavors of peach, apricot, tropical fruits, and lychee. It can be a dry or sweet white wine and many are more "in-between".

Ask for Greek purple wine. Or for German purple wine. might desire to the two be obtainable in England. the two have the candy form, which isn't too candy, a minimum of not as candy as Port. The trick is interior the alcohol content fabric. purple wines with alcohol contents around 9 to 10 % would be candy. bigger than 12% could be dry.

I recommend Rosemount Shiraz, 1999 or 2001 vintage. It is simply perfect and a reasonable amount for the bottle. Lambrusco is like water - it's very sweet. You're best bet is to stick with Merlots or Shiraz's.

Do not go with Lambrusco! That kind of wine is super sweet and quite nasty actually. I would recommend a Cabernet because it has no sweetness, there are lots of tannins and bold flavor. It is usually very oaky tasting.

You're probably better to go with a sparkling wine like Mateus or Castle Mendes.

Try a pinot noir. It's light and very middle of the road, sweetness-wise.
