Generally, from light bodied to heavier bodied, try these wines on for size:

Beaujolais (French wine from the Gamay grape)

Cotes du Rhone Villages (Southern French wine)

Cotes du Rhone (Southern French wine)

Syrah Vin du pay docs or vin du table (varietal Syrah from France rather than from a particular region or Chateau)

Shiraz (Some from California, a lot from Australia)

Zinfandel (RED WINE not white Zin) (California primarily) (start with the relatively low alcohol levels and work your way up toward 14% - for the really BIG ZINS).

Good luck! Generally I've found that with people who really like White Zinfandel it is easier to introduce them to Beaujolais or Cotes du Rhone Village as their first introduction to red wines. Both, generally, go well with grilled meats, most game or wild fowl, roast chicken and stuff like that.
