Is there a wine that tastes sweet? Also that is moderately priced? Possibly red?

Question

I am looking for wines that are not so bitter. I have tried many. Right now I am trying Sangria by Livingston( recommended by someone at the store).. it is still a bitter for my taste. I want a real wine- I already drink Arhbor Mist, etc. I want real wines, that go nicely with a steak dinner.. or anytime wines.With pasta or whatever. Sometimes I just like to relax after work and have a glass. Any help would be greatly appreciated!So... are there any sweet wines out there?

Wow.. I didn't expect so many good answers so fast.. this is great. I live about 2-3 miles from Jungle Jims International market- they carry just about everything you can imagine- in every price range! I will definately be trying some of these!! I just made a list..

Answer 1

hi,
there are quite a lot of sweet wines in the market, though they are sometimes quite expensive.
if you are looking for sweet red wine you have to decide what quality you are looking for. You can buy cheap, commercial sweet redwines from Australia for example (try Banrock Station) but I wouldn't recomend it as they can be horrible (you're better of with sangria). But if you're looking for a really good (premium) quality then try Recioto della Valpolicella. You can get it in any good wineshop. (like Oddbins or Liberty Wines)
It's much easier to find off-dry/sweet white wines though...
Nearly every European country has some:
in Italy try Asti, from Hungary there is Tokaji wich has several types but in England most likely to find Aszu (5puttonyos, it is very sweet, complex in flavour) or in a more affordable price try something from Germany like Beerenauslese or Reiesling Auslese. They are still good quality, again try it in specified wine shops.
Ther are some grape varieties what you can look for which are sweet or aromatic: Gewurtztraminer, Muscadet

But if you're looking for something with steak try redwines from California. Although those wines aren't sweet they are easy to drink, very fruity wines.
Finnaly if you try some really good quality wines you will definiately find some nice dry wines. There are some good places in London (sure other places aswell I just know them) where you can try several wines and pick your favourites.
Good luck with them, enjoy it :)

Akadama Wine

Answer 3

For a number of years back in the 80's, my parents were into this Italian red sweet wine, a bit sparkly, it was called Castelvetro, there is an nice white wine called Canei.

Sweet concord wines like the kosher one are fine for appetizer wines.

Answer 4

Why do you want a "real" wine. Your taste preference really isn't on par for "real" wine. If you like sweetness and you want red, stay with the Arbor Mists and such.

If you want to try to develop your palette for red wines, start off with a Merlot. They are the most accessible reds. Then move on to some more interesting wines.

Answer 5

Any wine too good is probably not going to be moderately priced, so, if that be the case then you are better off trying the cheapies... Boones' Farm makes a wonderful Sangria for instance. Gallo Rose or Red will compliment a steak dinner quite nicely. Sweeter. 'Good 'wine ought to be left to the connoisseurs,(and their pocketbooks), because if they told you to try what was good,you probably wouldn't like it.. Akadama wine is good. Shoya Plum Wine, too, both Japanese, and moderately priced.
Wine is never cheap, unless it is Hobo wine like 20/20, or Irish Rose, which can also be drunk with a meal, why not? Just dilute it with Sprite to make 'Champiple', or the like....

Answer 6

Try looking up a local wine shop. Most of them will usually have a day where you can go in and have tastings. I look for fruit wines like cranberry (one of my favorites). Also try a nice Rose. These tend not to be as heavy or strong and are a good starter red wine. They are considered Semi-Dry.

Answer 7

Try a wine made by FRANZIA called " Chill - able Red"

It is sweet but has red properties, you serve it cold. It is a "real Wine" and goes well with everything.

I buy it in the box for approx 10.00 and it lasts MONTHS in it's special air tight cocoon.

You won't be sorry!!!

If you are willing to go off path to a BLUSH wine, Try White Zinfindel by Earnest and Julio Gallo , it is really sweet , but fruity and fun!

Answer 8

Dublin Winery (NC) Hatteras Red and a white Sweet Muscadine.

Answer 10

Looking for sweet wine? Hmm, I once drank a kind of red wine, and it was not strong and it was sweet. But people said this wine wasn't with high quality. And sorry I forget the name. LOL.
