What is the best wine for someone who doesn't really like alcohol?
I've been to wine tastings in France but never really liked any of the wines. The best wine I've ever tasted was an ice wine from Germany and a plum wine. The ice wine was just like apple juice! I want something really fruity and sweet.
Answers:
Try a reisling or a friut based wine- peach or raspberry, white zinfendel, or the newer white merlot's or white shiraz's are fruity and sweet too.
I TOTALLY agree with "acabingirl"
Good answer!
There are wine stores now, popping up all over the place.
Go to one and ask the clerk for suggestions. Also, within the stores, there is free wine tasting, sometimes daily.
One of the places I am thinking of is Cork and Olive???? I think that is the name.
I'm with you on that one, though I've never personally tried the two wines you mentioned. I prefer 'blush or rose' wines...but something else to look for..the higher the '% alc. by wt.' the sweeter the wine. ;)
Reunite Lambrusco is very fruity and smooth and also very cheap
mateus rose is sweet and nice
green apple wine...cheap and tastes just like candy
I would go for a white zenfindel. I've found through being a bartender that people who don't drink alot of wine usually enjoy white zen. I would go with Beringer, or Kendall Jackson. If you like red you might try a pino noir. It's a red wine made from a single type of grape. Maybe a BV Coastal would be to your liking.
You don't say where you are from, but here in the US we have a wine called sparkling blush. It is a sweet, carbonated wine (like champagne, only we can't call it that).
The serious dry, red wine experts will poo-poo this stuff, But,for the non-boozer, this sweet, light, tickle-your-nose bubbly is lovely. Be warned though, if you guzzle this like beer, it can sneak up on you.
Cheers!
Lambrusco, it tastes like a non-alcoholic wine, it's so fruity.
"the higher the '% alc. by wt.' the sweeter the wine"
yeah... NO.
alcohol is produced by yeast metabolizing the sugars in the grapes to alcohol. Therefore: the more alcohol present in the wine, the more sugar that has been converted to alcohol, the less residual sugar remains in the wine, the less sweet (more "dry") the wine is.
that said, you may be thinking of fortified wines, that are only allowed to ferment a short time, before brandy (distilled wine) is added to raise the alcohol content and kill the yeast, stopping fermentation, and resulting in a sweeter wine.
Try non alcoholic wine--
