Something that begins with Pinot. Grigio or Noir. Tesco do some decent Pinots.

Either red or white.

I'm quite fond of red wine but, white wine makes me wanna puke tbh.

As HT said, get yourself to tesco and try some of their wines out. They usually have some reasonable ones on offer (half price ect...), so start there and try some out.

Personally, I typically prefer a nice red from Southern France but, don't mind spainish or Italian reds either.

Sorry that I can't offer any guidance on white wine though.

I find a lot of the coop wines are very acceptable.

My current favourite is their Explorers Sauvignon Blanc.

For a red, you could do a lot worse than their fairtrade Argentine Malbec.

The dirty secret about wine is, to the inexperienced tongue, its all the same - i.e. wine. Get into the habit of drinking it on a regular basis and you will develop a preference, but for the once in a blue moon wine drinker? Nothing the supermarkets sell is going to make you spit it out and go urghh*.

*As long as it doesn't have either a number below 12% or the word lambrini on it

[Rogerborg]

Au contraire, mon petite fromage. If you're going cheap, go lower alcohol. Forget the 13% stuff, think more like 11%, 10 if you can find it. Lidl do some English wines at 8% which are surprisingly palatable.

Go to a local independent place and spend a tenner on something you cannot buy in the supermarkets. Take reccomendations from the person in the shop.

If you don't like it at all, wine is not for you. If you do like it, it will be a much more pleasurable experience.

This will save money in the long run, over buying multiple shit fiver bottles from supermarkets...very few of these are palatable. In the hope of finding one you might like.

Hate wine personally, but the times i have to drink it i find the rose wines are most palletable. Less hangover than red particularly also

All taste the same to me but maybe i'm not into them enough to notice the difference betweem a 4 quid and 20 quid bottle

[Ichy]

For a first bottle go for a Australian or Californian White. Due to the climate these tend to be a bit fruitier. There are some nice wines from New Zealand as well, Try Freemans Bay Sauvignon Blanc from Aldi, not too bad at all.

If you go for general supermarket stuff then Wolf Blass or Lindemans are a safe bet.

The rule of thumb I was given for cheap wine is generally the older the better.

The biggest saviour of cheap wine has to be one of these

I find Sauvignon Blanc to be very drinkable. The Spanish do some nice easy to drink ones. There was one I got from Sainsburies called Vina Sol. It got my girlfriend into wine. It's a fresh citrusy wine and goes well with white fish dishes and roast chicken.

For reds, in Tesco there is deal on an Australian wine called Yellow Tail, they do a Shiraz which is very nice. They also do a very good Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.

These are all wines that I've currently got in the rack that are exceptionally good for the money and just about middle ground:

I can recommend aldi for decent inexpensive wine. Toro Loco and Vina Decana are both good easy drinking reds and in my opinion their hungarian chardonnay is an absolute steal. However as arry says spend a bit more and you'll see a considerable difference.
