looking for a type of wine I will like.

Welcome Meri1. First, sounds like you've described red dessert wines. Try a ruby port...whether you like it will depend on your definition of "sweet." A late harvest Zinfandel or late harvest merlot might also work for you, though they may be difficult to find dependin' on where you live. Also, check out the following site to gauge yer sweetness prefs:

Second, if you really mean fruity rather than "sweet", then we can direct you to a plethora of options. See this recent Board discussion for more understanding:

Finally, we might be able to help you past the "vinegar" to a more balanced experience of red wines if you tell us what you've tried.
