- Jacota - 07-27-2004
I am looking for preferably a French all around Red Dinner Wine. If they make such a thing. I would also like a French after dinner Red Wine. I don't like any kind of dry wine. I would like to be able to buy this in my local grocery or liquor store as to keep the price down. Any help would be appreciated.

Welcome to the board, Jacota. Distribution of most wines is very spotty across the country, and what's available in one location may not be available in yours. Suggest you look down the forums for "Best Buys" and for "Gamay/Beaujolais"; the latter especially will turn up postings on French Beaujolais, which although not sweet are fruity, so will give the perception of sweetness. They're good all around French table wines for a variety of menus and usually are priced in the range of $6-$12. As for a French dessert wine: suggest instead you look for a ruby Port, not from France but from Portugal. Several are available in the $15-$20 range.
