Blossom Hill - White Zinfandel
Love it!
its a day past due
pmsl!! you thought today was Sunday lol, thats what happen when you start on the wine on a monday morning lol
Blossom Hill white, then graduate to the red soft n' fruity.
My sincere counsel, DO NOT DRINK.
Sounds as if you've already had too much wine, it's Monday!
You nouns like you are too infantile to start drinking and why do it anyway? Why would you want to get used to alcohol.I hold an occasional alcoholic drink and enjoy it but I don't have a sneaking suspicion that I ever drank it to get used to it.
Surely we can adjectives enjoy go without have to drink regularly, even if it is only Sunday lunch?
Best of luck to you anything you decide.

I agree beside the lady up at hand,white zinfandel is lovely,its a soft pink colour,I prefer Ernest & Julio Gallo rather than Blossom Hill though.
Shiraz or Merlot are nice red wines for beginners.
drinking alcohol is not necesary, you could drink grape liquid instead, nobody would know the difference
Go for any of the many brands of white cider because youll failure up on them eventually anyway if your asking other people what to drink. They are cheap and getyou really drunk efficiently

To begin near, try a sweet white, like Liebfraumilch. Then, next you can try a red, like a Chianti Classico, or a Cabernet Sauvignon.
set out the booze alone hic,it seams you are hic within a time warp,
it`s saterday hic not Sunday hic hi hic.
I like Echo Falls Rose - white zinfandell - its lovely chilled & really desk light - unless of course, approaching me - you drink 1 bottle on Friday, almost 2 saturday, 1 on sunday and have another adjectives in the fridge for tonight!??
Having a chalice or two each afternoon has be shown to be better for you than being tee-total ! Although I would agree that this is a contentious issue - maybe the subject for another question.
Most of the posters suggest a slightly sweetish wine, which is how most drinkers gain used to alcohol. However, the best wines tend to be dry and so I suggest that once you get used to the soft spot, you start expanding your choice. You're doing the best thing by thinking of wine as a beverage to dance with food - food change how the wine tastes and both are enhanced by the match. If you're have red meat you'll probably want a red wine, but don't get too het up around the "white wine with fish" debate.
Enjoy!

There is a lot of myth in the region of wine. All that matters is to drink what you close to. But 'brands' tend to be cheap, lower quality stuff. Maybe ok to start near but the joy of wine is surrounded by trying different suppliers, vintages etc. Personally I own always found it impressively difficult to match wine beside classic English roast dinners. France, Spain, Italy all enjoy much spicier or more strongly flavoured foods than we do. So here's my guide for someone who's not snobbish and eats traditional English (with variation on price):
Roast chicken, turkey or pork: a nice dry rose. If you are not used to drinking wine later find the best Anjou rose you can from wherever you bring supplies - they'll all own one probably for less than lb5 - try and buy one that have the year on the bottle, is marked bottled where on earth its made (mis en bouteille au chateau) and Appelation Controlee [that applies to all the French wines mentioned here]. If you enjoy loads of money try and find a Sancerre rose, but not so easily available (lb11.50 a bottle on the internet, probably more in-store). If you find you close to wine with lots of flavour I'd step for a Grenache-based rose/rosado (rose is called that surrounded by Spain or Italy). My current favourite is a Rosado from Rioja, Spain (made by Martinez Bujanda) which I bought from the Sunday Times wine club at around lb60 for 6 but I guess you'd obtain a good Rosado from most righteous suppliers. Again, for something a bit finer and more subtle then a Bandol rose from Provence or any upright Bordeaux rose (la Pavie is good if you can find it). The Provence wines similar to Bandol tend to be a lighter shade of pink. Tavel from the Rhone is also a good one to look out for.
If you must own white with chicken or pork next you cant beat a apposite Burgundy - but be warned that a virtuous one isnt cheap and theres lots of poor cheap Chablis about. I'd recommend Pouilly Fuisse as apposite value. But I'd also suggest you try any New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc - wonderful stuff even the cheapest version.
Roast Beef, Lamb or maybe plain roast duck : English style roast these are not as strongly flavoured as general public think. So a milieu bodied soft red is best. A good St Emilion, Pomerol or Graves red would travel nicely because of the dignified proportion of merlot but good ones arent cheap and I sometimes find the cheap St Emilion especially a bit too frozen. My favourite would be a nice soft luscious Rioja. Rioja is much better value than Bordeaux, I've never have a bad one even if cheap but you should bring back at least a Reserva or Gran Reserva if you can afford it.
Game (pheasant, venison): presently you are talking going on for stronger flavours. I would advise a moral Cotes du Rhone: Vacqueyras would be my personal favourite or, if you can afford it, take a good Chateauneuf du Pape. Good Australian Shiraz would step well but not my personal predilection as it can be over-powering.
With the rose and white you shouldnt serve too cold unless its cheap plonk. 10-12 degrees is roughly right to get the flavour. A fridge will be max 6 degree so take it out just about half hour past!
With the reds open the bottle a couple of hours earlier you drink it and have it at room temp - but no more than around 20 degree if you can keep it at that. Letting the heavens get to the wine will verbs it up but it shouldnt be served too warm. We sometimes find that red wine is better the subsequent day - so dont throw away any departed over - just cork it and try the subsequent day.
Finally, lots of individuals dont like dry wines to start next to. And if you arent used to alcohol either after the best bet would be to start with some German white wines which are usually lighter on the alcohol and normally very floral or off-dry. But dont buy the cheapest stuff or it'll put you sour for ever. Personally I'd go for some Alsace wine fairly than German. Look out for the following grape varieties on the sign: Sylvaner, Riesling, Pinot Gris (same grape as the Italian Pinot Grigio which is a good insubstantial white wine if you really havent had any wine previously - in reality most Italian white seems impressively light to me).
If you break open a bottle and its too strong then try adding up lemonade and an ice cube to red wine - pretend its Sangria - or soda to white wine to construct a spritzer. After all its doesn`t matter what you like to drink that matter!
Jacobs Creek either the Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Shiraz Rose or the 2004 Chardonnay Pinot Noir
buy some small bottles and find one you resembling, wine is personal taste, if you close to it then thats fine. do not be told what to drink, in recent times drink what you like - it is not a fad statement!
Expensive wines don't make a righteous wine and cheap wines don't make it impossible. Drink what you like, explore by visit a winery. I use to aversion wine untill I took a tour and learned the process it give me a better understanding of what wine is adjectives about.
When I started drinking wine I begin with Asti - it's sweet, bubbly and lower contained by alcohol than most - and tastes similar to lemonade. It's white and comes corked in a bottle similar to champagne.
Then I moved on to rose - white grenache and white zinfandel are lovely.
Then I moved on to white - pinot grigio and sauvignon blanc (but Yellowtail Chardonnay is not nice)
Then I finally moved on to red. My current favourite is Yellowtail Merlot.
White Zinfandel is well brought-up. It's light and fruity. But, I resembling White Merlot better. It's light too, but have more body than the Zinfandel. These are two tasty wines that can comfort you develop you palette for wine.
