I want to try wine

What wine is a good for someone who hasn't tried it before? Not too much fan over an overly alcoholic taste, ideally looking for something that tastes like juice but will get me "wine d*unk"

Rose wine is nice. Especially the summer berries one.

A lot of people like Prosecco I know sparkly isn’t for everyone

Go to a good wine shop and they’ll let you taste a few after describing what you want

Definitely go to a pairing event where you can try different cheeses etc to see what goes with the wine

I’m a red wine and cheese kinda guy

One stop wine shop and others have a web questionnaire to make suggestions

Just to add… there are a bunch of really lovely people there - in my experience you have a great attitude to Wine on are involved in able to match peoples individual taste to wines which they have a good selection of.

They have wines to suit most people’s pockets too

They have time they have experience and have a very good retail service attitude

Hi

Sorry am friend

That is very hard to believe

You have missed out

You can't but a Merlot with cheese or dark chocolate.

Or white Pinot Grigio

Enjoy

I like wine myself but cannot honestly say that I’ve experienced anything that really tastes fruity in the true sense. The sweet wines just taste sweet and not fruity.

Arrogant Frog Orange Wine and Sancerre white wine taste good to my palate, but they’re a long way from fruity.

There are some good fruit ciders out there that you might prefer.

Fruit cider is what I would usually drink, so I ideally would like a wine that tastes like a dark fruits 😂😂 yes I could get a dark fruits but I'd like to try wine

Just try a few until you find one you like.

One of our favourites was £2:99 from Aldi

Look for a description that contains the word 'flowery' if you like a sweeter taste.

If you want something a bit more like ‘juice’. Try something like 5% strength stuff like echo falls.

Wouldn’t exactly call it good wine though.

The go to ones that are often recommended are Chilean merlot (red) or new Zealand Sauvignon blanc (white).

I won't reveal why I have industry knowledge of this but I do.

If you're looking for fizz then I'd suggest demi sec! Demi sec means semi sweet as opposed to "brut"=dry. Sainsbury's do a demi sec champagne for about £25 but I realise that's expensive to some.

Prosecco (made using the tank method/different to champagne) is much cheaper but I'd highly recommend finding a DOCG one as opposed to DOC, the quality is much better for a few quid more in most cases. The 'German' supermarkets both do an excellent DOCG Prosecco example for £10 if I remember correctly

From my experience a lot of people will find a type of wine they prefer and others they will be less keen on. I'd recommend trying different types and then exploring more of the ones you prefer.

Just put a dash of lemonade in any wine, tastes great.

They're great yes, but unless you buy more than 6 bottles you're not taking advantage of their 'offer'.

I use them because they have exclusive stuff to them that they can sell a third less than it would be elsewhere. So you really do need to know your wine, or have a vague knowledge of what you like to take advantage in a majestic imo

So I don't necessarily agree it's good to start there

'Good' should be what you enjoy.

Not the tired snobbery of vintage and price tag.

Blind taste tests are famous for celebrating the underdog.

I find most wines too tannic and bitter.

It can be refreshing to add ice and a splash of lemonade or similar. I'm not a fan of sodawater for a spritzer
