Re: Wine
Most supermarkets sell a range of South African wines too. They're considered among the best, so once you get a taste, try some, they're very good

Re: Wine
I'm sorry, but I couldn't be any more ignorant about wine. There is wine that is spicy? This is what I used to drink, although it appears that my original "Pure Grape Wine" flavor has been discontinued. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MD_20/20It must have been one of the 18% versions. You can probably tell by the external links in the wiki what kind of stuff it was...
Was serious about the SE Australian wine ...and not just because I live here....it's great wine growing country in Victoria where many of them come from.
ps...if you don't want a hanover....go for Organic wine.

Re: Wine
I haven't messed with with wine for a long time. Since my late teens and early 20's really. Back them my favorite stuff was the original Grape flavor. I tried the Kiwi fruit and Grapefruit but didn't like them as much. Some of my friends liked what was called Boone's Farm in Strawberry but I thought it was kind of girly. My 20/20 Grape had a lot more bite. I've been reading of the health benefits of a glass of wine and figured maybe it was time to try it again.
Since some of you seem to know a little about the stuff, what would you recommend?

Try a bottle of Jacobs Creek Shiraz - a lovely dark red, all warm and spicy.

I do buy the Jacobs Creek but I just wish we had a bigger variety.

Re: Wine
If you want to drink it for the health benefits, you need to drink red wine, darker the better....check out Trader Joe's or Wholefoods as they have some pretty good one's, TJ's won't break the bank either....the house red's a frog wine that's $4 and it's not that shite either.

Re: Wine
I remember buying when I was 16, in High School. Girls used to love it (and us guys too cuz it got'em drunk easy).
It cost $2.10 a bottle back then... today it still costs $2.10 a bottle.
