    Coppela makes a great inexpensive wine - not cheap, but not expensive.

    I love cavit pinot grigio and barefoot wines, cavit is pricey for me $10+ barefoot is $6. Barefoot also makes great champagne 
    “There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.”

    Ermagerd Barefoot is like $12 here. I like their Pinot Grigio too, but my heart belongs to Gabbiano.

    I like Barefoot Sweet Red $11 for the big bottle or $7 for the small one. Or Sweet Bitch which I believe is about the same price.

    I don't like dry wines and neither of those are too dry.

    Hmm for a sparkling I like lambrusco, there's a company called I'll who makes a good one. Also a big fan of Cupcake Red Velvet and Apothic Red, both are mixed reds not too dry. Actually having some red velvet tonight ;)

    Well I drank the whole bottle tonight, Its only about 2 1/2 cups so I'm not a drunk I swear. I love Barefoot and I'm ashamed to say I haven't tried the others. Looks like its time to get my drink on, I am not changing my name.

    What's a good beginner wine? I am ashamed to say I don't like wine, maybe haven't met the right bottle yet...
    I like beer and whiskey, but am open to expanding my drinking horizons.

    I tend to like dessert wines. The sweeter the better. Over the holidays my sister in law turned me on to chocolate wine. I had seen it in the state stores and it struck me as weird. I ended up eating my words. I like it. I just had the brand cupcake...red velvet. Not as sweet as I like. But, its not bad.

    We have a winery up my way that makes jalapeno wine. Chillin in the fridge haven't tried it yet.

    Believe it or not, Aldi's has decent wine-about $4/bottle. I've had the moscato and the merlot, but they have a few others, too.

    @beachy at first I was not a wine drinker!! Give me a mixed drink and I was good to go, my MIL always tried to get me to drink this red wine crap and it tasted like kerosene I thought I was weird but then the new winery around here opened and I tasted a few and I found I like the unconventional ones like the black and blue is blackberry and grape, is there a winery close to you?

    I'd say start with Barefoot if you're a beginner. Something sweet, also there's a winerie here that I went to last year OMG you havent had real wine until you check one out. So good!

    I think that about all alcohol, @MarySunshine. Well, except for the stuff that tastes like roofing tar.

    I drank a lot in my early 20's,, but I am not a fan of wines at all. I actually don't drink much at all anymore. I was a boones farm peach wine girl till they quit making it. I did buy a friend a bottle of chocolate wine I found in Branson for Christmas and she said it was the best.she ever tasted.

    @KrabbyKay, I can taste the stuff in the air every time I walk past one of those roofing trucks with the tar-melter trailer thingy. Yuck! (Good thing I didn't say it tasted like goat piss or something)!

    99I love the Barefoot wines. Funny enough I found that wine through the blogger Barefoot Foodie. 

    I like the Cupcake wine, too.


    We mostly do local wines. This is wine country here - The Finger Lakes - and man is it good stuff. 

    A local apple farm has a GREAT wine line. My favorite is the SomerSet original. They also have a Red and a Rose. And it's only $9.99 a bottle.

    @Love
    My Olive Garden wine!!!!
    I drank the entire bottle at the restaurant last night. (Of course they charge you $27)
    It's impossible to find around here. But, the waiter did tell me that he knows of one store occasionally has it.

    my cheap wine go to is Boordy- only the whites or flavored wines, never the reds from them (local vineyard- MD red grapes suck)

    my "expensive" wine go to is Conundrum at $25. It is awesome.

    We also make our own wine that runs around $4 cost per bottle and a batch makes around 30 bottles (except for the last batch that is vinegar...le sigh)

    I think whiskey tastes like stinky feet, bourbon like ass and beer like piss water
