What wine tastes like Kool-Aide?

Sep 11, 2005 4 Replies

Dear smarties; Hi! I know nothing about wine. I hardly know anything about alcohol of any kind, and I'm 36 years old. I like coffee more, but I don't even know very much about that. I tend to like a lot of sugar, milk and chocolate in my coffee, so you're getting the gist of what kind of palate I have. :) I've tasted a very few wines in my day, but I have yet to find one that doesn't taste pretty, well, gross. My question is: If I throw a party and want to drink a glass of wine, what kind can I buy at Safeway that tastes closest to Kool-Aid or candy or Mike's Hard Lemonade, or something I can handle? I'm trying to be humorous but the question is real; is there a wine I can buy that doesn't taste much like wine? Something sweet and not very strong-flavored? Price isn't that big of a consideration, but taste for a wimp like me is. Any recommendations would be great! Thanks.

Katy:

Have you tried something like Arbor Mist or Mogen David concord grape? You might also want to look at tawny ports or at sherry, but the really inexpensive versions of those probably have that bad wine taste you don't want.

I thought I'd answer this as the least-experienced wine drinker in the grouip.

Braccheto d'Acqui an Italian sparkler (think carbonated) has a bit of a strawberry flavor

Thank you very much, Joseph! I just wrote "Braccheto d'Acqui" down. Thanks for your time.
