I'm not a huge fan of red wine, because I don't really like drinking alcohol that isn't chilled. But I love white wine. My favourite type would be a good sauvignon blanc... Australian and New Zealand grown ones especially. Yum.

Pretty much all the ones I've ever tasted were awesome. Can't recall the names of most of them, but I got through a couple of bottles of Vin De Pays yesterday, which was great stuff, so if you can get hold of some where you are, I say go for some of that.

I'll warn you before you read this, this is the opinion of a 17 year old that has grown up with people who will drink rubbing alcohol and think its passable. Just skimming through the thread, looks like some very good names and grapes have already been mentioned. I've heard a few people say that most wines taste the same. They won't if you taste different wines back to back, then the differences are evident. In my opinion red tops white by a mile. My favorite I've ever had was a South African called Pinotage. I wouldn't recommend it for everyone though, its extremely dry. I think a Chianti is best with a meal, though. It can be pretty cheap too, since it is a mixture of grapes. As for white, a Reisling is usually my choice, although you need to spend a bit to get a decent one. Eroica is a good, its really bold and fruity. For my graduation, I've been hounding my grandpa to open up this ancient Ice Wine from Germany that is supposed to be top of the line. He's been saving it forever, but I think I'll talk him into it. I'm just hoping the cork hasn't rotted by now. Has anyone ever had one? |

Well, the alcohol level in wine is like a billion times higher than beer, so when you're blackout drunk, which is the way to go, you really can't even taste anything. =)
Oh, and red wine is actually really good for your heart. It's recommended for people over a certain age to drink like a glass or two a day. |

I like white and red, more specifically Pinot Gris and Savigon Blaunc for white, red consists of mostly Shiraz. Yellow Cross is a good wine, as is Oyster Bay, Malborough, and for cheap ones I like Queen Adelaide and Jacob's Creek. Basically I <3 wine.
