    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

    Hagar, Thaedydal

    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.
    Have a nice day.

    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.
