I read in a Health Magazine that a glass of red wine everyday can extend your life up to 4 years. I don’t actually drink much if ever at all so I need a little help with finding one I will like.

I don’t like super dry or bitter tasting wines. If I do drink wine it is usually Blush/White so a red wine that is a little on the sweet side with little kick to it would be wonderful! Also not too expensive unless it’s amazing!
Thank you in Advance!

Try a pinot noir
Find a German red or Hungarian red, those countries make sweeter red wines than California. Also they are less in alcohol than American.
However if you are drinking for health…red grape juice does the same thing as red wine sans the alcohol.
merlot has a nice cherry flavor.
if you can find it , look for this……..but first a small set up.
when grapes are crushed , the entire batch is crushed. That means
the grapes , stems , leaves , etc. all get crushed.
you like the taste of stems ? people dont think of that….lol
now some wineries go the extra step in crushing only the grapes ,
and using a machine to separate the grapes from the other
stuff so that only the grapes are crushed.
so if you can find it , look for a winery brand that shows on the label
that their wine is free of stems and such.
choose a syrah as a sweet dinner wine or if you can find it , moscato allegro is a white wine that is so sweet that what you do is chill it down real good and use it as an after dinner desert wine.
REMEMBER THIS…….WHITE WINE IS SERVED CHILLED , RED WINE IS SERVED ROOM TEMPERATURE.
Everyone has different tastes. You will need to taste different wines and find some that you like.
There’s a useful article on drinking red wine for your health at:
Hawks Crest Napa Valley Cabernet is a wonderful Cabernet that is less expensive than most Napa Cabs. Give it a try!
Mark West Pinot Noir is another great buy….around $11.
I hope this helps.
