    Try a wine specialist shop where they have a couple of wines open for tasting. It will give you the chance to try before you buy, and you will get good advice.

    Hi

    Try Dunnes. They have a red wine (French) which has a chocolate base to it. Chateau something - normally 15.99 but on special now for 7.99 - gorgeous

    Unhelpful and off-topic posting will get you banned from this forum.
    Do take time to read the charter which contains the rules and abide by them.

    It will take time to find the wine that will become your favourite.

    Marks & Sparks do some great ones. I nick all their Chianti Classico off the shelf everytime I'm in there.
    I particularly like wine which have been in an oak barrell for at least a year.
    Rioja wines from Spain are great.
    I had a delish Marques De Riscal Rioja Reserva a couple of weeks ago.
    Try lots of different types from different regions, eventually you'll find one that you love.

    Chianti classico ftw and there are some lovely Rioja's too.
