I’m looking for wine suggestions for the beginner. I really don’t like the bitter taste most wines have. The sweeter the better. It would almost be like drinking delicious fruit juice

Morgan David, Manochevettes, Lambrusco.
a muscadine blush is like that it is made from a wild muscadine grape and very sweet.
I really like Manishewicz or Mogan David Concord Grape wine. Their Blackberry wine is great, too and I use both for cooking. Sorry about the “organic” spelling. The first name really “blew the mind” of the “check spelling” button!
muscato[very sweet and fruity]delicious
Wild Vines. Strawberry Zinfendell. It’s inexpensive, and it’s almost like drinking strawberry juice. The ” alchohol taste ” is as close to zero as I’ve ever found.
If you can afford it $30 to $100 for a half bottle, there are some really delicious desert wines that are made out of frozen grapes. They can be kind of hard to find though.
Duck Pond Semillon Ice Wine 2002 $35.00 (Washington State)
Covey Run Riesling Ice Wine 2002 $22.00 (Oregon)
King Estate Pinot Gris “Glace” 2003 $20.00 (Oregon)
Bonny Doon Muscat “Vin de Glaciere” 2003 $19.00 (California)
Selaks Ice Wine 2003 $18.00 (New Zealand)
Drinking delicious fruit juice is not the exact idea of wine, but I hear Boone’s Farms makes a lot of selections along that line. You should try at least once the Sauvingnon Blanc by Monkey Bay, it is particularly sweet and leaves the aftertaste of kiwi. It is from New Zealand, so look for it in imports or in Australia section. BTW, did I mention it is usually under $9…
Also on the cheap is my fave: Pinot Grigio from Three Blind Moose vineyard (domestic) also under $9. This one is less sweet, but is of great quality – you could drink two bottles yourself and your hangover would be only from the dehydration.
If you want really sweet wine, look for an “ice wine” made from frozen grapes. Very sweet and usually used as an apertiffe but still strong.
Arbor Mist is considered in the wine family. It has lots of friuty flavors. I don’t like the bitterness of wine either, but I’ll drink this.
Ice Wine is very sweet. However, one wouldn’t drink a glass of it like regular wine. It is for sipping.
I’m not sure whether you get Andres in your area. Baby Duck, Baby Champagne, Pastel Peach are all fruity, bubby and sweet, and they look pretty in the glass. A good introduction to wine drinking.
Sangria is a nice sweet wine with fruit juice added. It’s pretty cheap too.
try the arbor mist blends, rieslings, white zinfandel.
