hi i just wondered if any one could recommend any wines, i would like to try ans find one i like but there are so many out there i dont know where to start. i have never drank wine, my usual drinks are things like wkd, archers, vodke but only with red bull.
can anyone recommend any quite sweet tasting ones that are quite cheap and ideal for slobbing in front of the tele with

I personally like a rich Merlot but if you're new to wines you'd probably prefer white wine and something like a German Liebfraumilch would probably be a reasonable place to start.

I think you should try a rose, both Ernst and Julio Gallo and Blossom Hill do a White Zinfandel and a White Grenache which are sweet and would probably be what you're looking for
(the Zinfandel would be the sweeter of the two)

thanks both of you i will look out for them

liebfraumilch is quite sweet and normally quite cheap. For a white wine my favourite is a pinot grigio - you get many different makes of it but I find it to be a very light, not strong tasting wine. A similar one is a spanish Torres Vina Sol - of course depends your supermarket may not stock that one. My supermarket regularly does 3 for �10 on a pinot grigio. Another nice light tasting is M&s Spanish (that is what it is called). Litre bottle for just under 4. I like a cabernet sauvignon for a red - most 'brands' suit me fine.

Hi you could try a german dornfelder wine which is really easy to drink and tastes of blackberries! it is quite low in alcohol too just 9%

The sweet wines from capital drinks seem to be popular:

ceretto moscato d'asti, great looking bottle!

and

Torres Moscatel Oro

Heads up!
