Something that is quite light would be a Valpolicella. This is an Italian region and the reds are very pleasant. Should get an ok one for about £5 per bottle in any big supermarket.
If you want something a bit meatier then try a Burgundy. This is a french region and the reds tend to be deeper with more flavour. Whites are pretty good too. a half-decent one can be around £6 from the supermarket. The best are really expensive :)

If you look in the CO-OP they have a couple of wines that are made from lesser known varieties (Tannat & Bonarda). The Bonarda is the softer style, with the Tannat bein slightly drier. Also if you do not like it they have a double refund policy so there is always that safety net.
Another variety is called Carmenere and Chile seems to bottle the most of this. Originally from Bordeaux and used at the end of the 19th Century for "rounding wines out", it is quite floral and light and a word I really do not like using "jammy".

If you're not too sure about specific wines, then I suggest you pick up a Rioja. There are very few poor ones and they will generally be priced in the £6 to £15 a bottle range for the masses. Pretty well all of them are full of flavour and very quaffable.

One I've found is nice, and rather mild red is a Montepulciano d'Abruzzo. Total Wine and More has a bottle of it from $5 all the way up to $28, and ABC's website has it from $8- $12.

Clos du Bois merlot is mighty tasty. Not to dry or too oakey. Goes great with steak or all by itself. Usually runs around 10 dollars a bottle.

depends on where you are for what is available
Hanna Winery is excellent, any of their Alexander Valley wines are phoenominal.
in California, these run about $20 per bottle, sometimes a little less, sometimes a little more...
moderate price excellent wine

I like Coppolla Shiraz - it is a pretty common wine so you should be able to find it at most places that have a decent wine selection.

We just tried Gnarly Vine old vine Zinfandel -- it's absolutely delicious, and under $8. There is also Behringers old vine Zin. $1 more than Gnarly Vine, and a little more complex in taste (good for me, not for my wife).
"from gnarly vines come gnarly wines" great slogan on the bottle -- ha ha
