Dear smarties;
Hi! I know nothing about wine. I hardly know anything about alcohol
of any kind, and I'm 36 years old. I like coffee more, but I don't
even know very much about that. I tend to like a lot of sugar, milk
and chocolate in my coffee, so you're getting the gist of what kind of
palate I have. I've tasted a very few wines in my day, but I have
yet to find one that doesn't taste pretty, well, gross. My question
is: If I throw a party and want to drink a glass of wine, what kind
can I buy at Safeway that tastes closest to Kool-Aid or candy or Mike's
Hard Lemonade, or something I can handle? I'm trying to be humorous
but the question is real; is there a wine I can buy that doesn't taste
much like wine? Something sweet and not very strong-flavored? Price
isn't that big of a consideration, but taste for a wimp like me is.
Any recommendations would be great! Thanks.

Katy:

Have you tried something like Arbor Mist or Mogen David concord grape?
You might also want to look at tawny ports or at sherry, but the really
inexpensive versions of those probably have that bad wine taste you
don't want.

I thought I'd answer this as the least-experienced wine drinker in the
grouip.

Braccheto d'Acqui an Italian sparkler (think carbonated) has a bit of a
strawberry flavor
