Favorite Red Wine

[CinnaSlim]

I want to start drinking wine. I'm grown and its supposed to be good for you in moderation. Whats a good one or your favorite for everyday relaxation?

I don't buy wine but I get bottles for free at work. So I can only tell what I like from some of the bottles I've gotten. Also I don't care for wine like that but since I get them I figure I might as well drink them.
These are the ones I've tried and actually remember if they were decent.

I really liked this one.

Mondavi wines are usually good quality.

This one was really good to me, I drank the whole bottle in one night.

Don't know if port has the same benefits as regular red wine but this one was very good and a little sweet.

There's a bunch more but these pics are huge. I have some of the empty bottles at home I'll see what else I've tried when I get there.

Can't get with red wine
Get some moscato

Merlot
Cabernet
Shiraz
Pinot Noir

Those are the ones that I'd definitely recommend

Or an ice wine. Not sure if that's an exclusively Canadian thing. It's a sweet dessert wine that comes in red or white.
I can't go with the heavy stuff. The taste is just vile

[Formerly known as...]

Italian Merlot, Spanish Merlot Medium/Full body

Pinot noir or beaujolais are both thin so you can actually chill them for a little in the fridge first...

Bumping this thread because tonight I opened a bottle of wine I got as a birthday gift a few months ago.

Francis Ford Coppola Claret Cabernet Sauvignon.
It probably sells for about $15-20.

But it's good. I like it.

I'm sure someone will brag about drinking $100 bottles of wine. Good for them.
I generally like to keep it under $35. A while back I got this Don David Malbec. Also probably like $15.

I think people just need to find what they like. Damn the price or the brand name.
I mean don't go getting that cheap "wine product" crap you see in Walgreens. Get a real wine.

At certain price point it’s just diminished returns. Best bottles I had were $20 Malbecs from Mendoza. A nice Ny strip medium rare (I have to say medium cause the coli are and used to A1 & well done) with a Malbec is

Those employees in the wine aisles at liquor stores are about that wine life and will never lead you astray if you tell em what you’re looking for.

I like wine. I'm far from an expert, but I'm partial to the dry red wines
