I've been known to throw back a glass (bottle) or two of wine on occasion. I have my everyday favorites which usually are at a lesser price point then bottles for special occasions. Like alot of people, I've tasted wine from the inexpensive to the VERY expensive. I am not a connoisseur of wine and I haven't been formally trained or schooled, but I know what I like. As far as reds go, I generally like a light to middle bodied wine which can be found in almost all regions. There are of course many, many delicious wines but as a rule of thumb, once you start going over a 14%-ish alcohol level, you'll be falling down after a couple of glasses. Sadly, I speak from experience...
I gave 2 different bottles a try recently which were smooth and yummy and were from Whole Foods so you should be able to find them fairly easily. They were great buys for the money!! I hope you get a chance to give them a try.
