My favourite wine is White Zinfandel which is actually rose. I have been drinking this wine for years but it has only just become fashionable! My favourite white is Pinot Grigio but it must be chilled. I don't really like red much either but occasionally I enjoy a Cabernet Sauvignon

Try lighter whites like a Chenin Blanc or a Riesling. They are not too dry and definitely not sweet.
Riesling is considered to be the true monarch of white grapes and produces some absolute gems. Chenin Blanc is slighly oily with a nice dry essence to it.
A lot of the new world wines are now being produced with screwtop closures, which will help toweards your glass a day programme.
If you go for rose try and find a Spanish from the region of Navarra, they are renowned for their rose wines, or Geoff Merrill Grenache Rose from Oz. The man has a moustache that is a mullet all in its own right.
Enjoy

Definitely go with white. Riesling is a good white wine for someone just starting out, a little on the sweet side.
Pinot Grigio is a good, all purpose wine. I also like Savignon Blanc.
Stay away from Chardonnay, it leave a somewhat bitter after taste in your mouth.

I like Champagne. It's bubbly and gives you a buzz more quickly.
I like white wines. My favorites are:
Yellowtail Chardonnay
White Truck, Pinot Grigio
Barefoot, Pinot Grigio
These are very in expensive too.
Any dry Champagne is my favorite and I don't know the names.

If you have a grocery store in your area, go to a wine tasting! There are some really good American and Aussie wines out there.

You really ought to develop a taste for red. A glass of red every day is good for your heart - and if you're an ex-smoker, you are at greater risk for heart problems.

I think that red is the way to go. However, if you do not like red, try a nice, light, fruity white, like Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc.

Try Pinot Grigio or Chablis. They are both refreshing white wiines served chilled.
