Usually when people begin drinking wine, they start with chilled whites like chardonnay and pinot grigio. As your palate evolves, you progress to room-temperature whites and chilled reds to cellar-temperature reds.
An underrated white wine is German reisling. It goes great with any dinner and because of its low alcohol content, it's easy to drink and won't get you too drunk to get home. It often has a pleasant honeylike taste with some citrus notes.
When you graduate to reds, start with a lighter red like a merlot or a beaujolais. Then you'll be ready for the meatier reds, such as cabernet sauvignon and pinot noir -- the latter is often regarded as the king of wines. Cabernet is my favorite red, especially with a steak or a nice red sauce.
Happy drinking! E-mail me with any questions you have.

Ice Wine is definately the sweetest, but a normal sized bottle of good ice wine will run you around 80 bucks!! I have a 187ml bottle (basically 1/4 of a regular bottle) and it cost 22 bucks. Not only the price, but i could down this whole little bottle in about 5 seconds and i wont even feel a buzz. Try reisling, its like white grape juice with alcohol. Good ones available for 10-20 dollars. Happy drinking!!

People who are new to drinking wines often prefer sweet wines (the opposite of dry wines). Many people also continue to enjoy sweet wines. Riesling is a sweet white wine that is good to drink with spicy foods or just to sip. Zinfandels can be very fruity and on the sweet side as well. However, the sweetest wines are dessert wines such as Muscat, Sherry, and Port.
An unusual dessert wine that is bursting with raspberry flavors is Bonny Doon Vineryard's Framboise "Infusion of Raspberry". You can purchase this at their website for $10 a bottle right now....though it is a half size bottle (common with dessert wines). https://www.bonnydoonvineyard.com/

I dont think your really after the sweetest wine if your just sarting out on wine as most of the desert wines are like drinking straight cordial and are extremly sweet. (Debortoli noble 1 is sensational at a reasonable cost) Maybe start off with something like a Brown Bros Crouchen & Riesling or Spatlese Lexia these are nice and sweet and easy to drink.(too sweet for me) or try some spumante like Riccadonna(Yum) or something mixed with strawberries like Fresita strawberry wine experiment and enjoy!

Sweetest and most tasteful are two different things.
Sweetest- ICE WINE and PLUM WINE
Tasteful - Mas Igneus PRIORAT / TIM ADAM'S- THE FERGUS.
Your best bet is to goto a wine tasting and try some "fruity" white wine...

Sweet wine rarely goes well with dinner. It's best for dessert. Bring a California chardonnay or an Australian shiraz. Don't spend less than $10. Avoid Yellow Tail.

I like a red Italian sweet wine called Aleatico. The best one is made in the island of Elba. Apart for drinking it's particularly nice for dipping crunchy biscuits in it like the Italian 'Biscotti di Prato (Prato's buiscuits or Cantucci)'. Other very good ones white are Moscato and Passito.

Try Sangria - it is a Spanish red wine that is mixed with fruit and fruit juices. It is very tasty, and the fruit cuts the wine taste.

Try some German whites like Riesling and Gewurztraminer. Dessert wines such as Sauternes are also good to try.
