I wouls assume by bitter, you mean dry. I cannot say that I have had a "bitter" red wine, but the darker the resd get, the drier they become. I would suggest you start out with a light bodies red, a Pinot Noir, as it will not be as intense and dry as darker reds. I would also suggest a Sangiovese, which is an amazing red Italian wine. If you would like more bold, then try a Cabernet Sauvignon, which is slightly drier.

Well, lambrusco is sweet. (I also think it is vile, as I like dry wines.) If you want a wine that is red and fairly gentle, but not icky sweet, try a merlot. There are some very nice ones around. (I'm Australian, and so I'm thinking in terms of Australian wines. You may find that other sorts of merlots are not as I have described.) Try a Margaret River Merlot. (Actually, I've not met too many dud wines of any sort from the Margaret River region. And, if not there's the Barossa Valley Region, again, has a lot of nice wines. And some of the Hunter Valley ones are very pleasant, too. You just have to keep trying until you find some you like...

If your definition of bitter is acidic then you are searching for a medium dry to sweet wine. Here are some suggestions:
Chianti Classico- Italian "everyday" wine
Merlot-dry rich and smooth lighter body than Caberenet Sauvignon
Sangiovese- spicy, with good acid levels, smooth texture and medium body
Nouveau Beaujolais- released 1 st Thursday in November very fruity, dry and light in body- does not age, excellent with Turkey.

One of my favorites is St. James Velvet Red from St. James Winery in Missouri. It is very bold, but sweet. A lot of my friends consider this dessert wine, but I drink it with anything, anytime. Most people don't realize what tremendous wines come from this region, but they are amazing. Missouri wines are some of the best. If you really enjoy whites, try Adam Puchta Winery's Vignole-"A luscious, semi-sweet white wine bursting with the essence of peach, strawberry and kiwi fruit, finishing with a sweet crisp citrus taste. This versatile wine may be paired with spicy Mexican, Cajun food, even Indian with curry. Very tasty with lemon chicken or lime shrimp, hey you can even switch the combo. All this and it comes in a pretty blue bottle, too! "
And Welcome to Missouri!

A rose is nice and sweet but a red chianti would taste the nicest.
