What is the best wine to buy for a girls night in?

My girlfriends and I are going to have a girls night in and probably watch movies, and I want to buy some wine to bring over. One of my favorite wines in Lambrossco..I dont like the really acidty taste one. Is there a really good wine that wont cost an arm and a leg when eating like snack food?|||Beringer or Sutter Home White Zinfandel....|||With all due respect, you aren't a wine drinker. There's nothing wrong with that, but don't force the issue. If you don't know what to buy, you don't like wines with "acidity", well, there are very few wines that don't fit that category. Plus, then you have the headache of picking out something that your girlfriends will also enjoy?





Here's a suggestion: Buy some Mike's Hard Lemonade (they make about six flavors) and bring them. Or, buy a bottle of Vodka and get something to mix it with or have some Martinis. As a last resort, you can buy and "alco-pop" like an Arbor Mist, but to be honest, if you don't like wine now, that won't help you to like it.|||Some good and bad advice here. The best wine to buy is one that everyone will like. How do you know that? Well, we "experts" can tell you what you are supposed to like, that really doesn't make it taste any better to you. If you are interested in learning in wine, find a place to buy wine where you can talk to someone who knows about wine and cares. The Riesling suggestion is the way to go. If you just want to drink something and don't ever care to think about it, box wine is very practical. I just had the "*****" wine yesterday and it is just the red novelty wine you are looking for, well engineered to not offend anybody. It is still in a brand-building phase, where it tastes good, before they turn it to cheap crap to make a bunch of money, like yellow tail.|||If you want a tasty wine that is actually wine and not mostly sugar, which will give u a killer headache if u drink too much, Go for a Sauvignon Blanc. Don't go too cheap, but u can find a real nice bottle for around $10. Ask at the wine store they will help u out.





Don't be scared by the screw top either. For some reason they do that with SB.|||Party wines, wah hoo. Pretty much anything thats cheap and medium in flavour, course all you want is a quaffer. Pop down to the supermarket and see what they have on offer. Get the boxes as well rather than bottles.|||theres a granache blend from Australia called "B*tch" that my female friends love. its pretty tasty and quite a conversation starter.

It is a wite wine that is delicious and inexpensive, but good quality!|||I say forget the wine and get some patron platnum baby !|||zinfandel rose wine is lovely.|||white ziffendale from livingston|||It depends on if you like red or white. While I agree with a previous answer, "you clearly aren't a wine drinker", there's nothing wrong with experimenting.





First rule: leave the lambrusco out of it.


Second rule: FORGET about white zinfandel (or "Rose Zin", or anything called blush.) Red grapes make red wine, white grapes make white wine. With few exceptions that you may want to delve into later in your wine drinking experiences, this is key.


Third rule: Start sweet. Most people start drinking wine like you would climb a ladder. Start with some sweet whites and slowly move toward the drier whites then drink your way towards the reds. And no, I don't mean in one night. This can take months to years depending on your taste.





So for you: German Riesling Spatlese. (Make sure it's German and not Alsatian or Australian.) And not that Blue Nun sh!t either. This may run you about $15, but worth it. (A domestic one i LOVE is Kung Fu Girl from Washington State...mmmmmm!)





Or Argentinian Torrontes. These are usually cheap and a lesser but up and coming grape. Smells kind of perfume-y; floral and sweet, but with a dry, spiciness that will go well with snacks.





If you're past this stage (which I doubt from the terms in your question): you can try a nice lush red. Some of the best "cocktail" wines are blends. Things like GSM (grenache, syrah, mourvedre), but I think you'd do well with a blend containing mostly merlot. Go to the wine store and ask; most shops taste everything before they decide to carry it. There are a TON of good, cheap, blends on the shelves right now.





And this: Almost all wines benefit from at least a few minutes of decanting if not a few hours. If you take a drink of a newly opened bottle and it makes your moth feel like you licked a walnut, pour the wine into another container. Or just let your glass sit for a bit. Then try it again.





Hope this helps!
