I wanna get into drinking wine once in a while

I love a good red blend or a red semi-sweet. They seem to be the right sweetness for me without being too sweet

I love me a barefoot red or pink, but especially the fruit mixes. Quite a bit sweet, however they’ve got that slight tinge for me personally that doesn’t make them as sweet ? Plus they’re super cheap lol

The problem with this is that tastes vary so much on the scale of wine as far as sweet but not too sweet. You could want semi-sweet or semi-dry and even still you could enjoy straight sweet if you really do want it sweeter.
I would 100% look into possibly going somewhere that has some type of wine tasting so you can taste different types of wine without having to buy an entire bottle to figure out exactly what you want. And keep in mind, even buying the same exact type from two different brands/wineries is going to have varying flavors but the tasting will help you get more of an idea of where exactly on the scale you wanna be
But also, even different notes in wines on the same place in the scale could tip where you go.
For me, Moscato was a good starting point. I like red blends. There's this blackberry merlot the winery around me makes that is to die for.
