I dont usually drink red wine, but realising the health benefits would like to indulge in a glass or two with my husband. Can anyone recommend an ultra fruity red which goes down easy as we are both finding them a little heavy going at the moment.
Thanks.

Hi Greynet, and welcome to the Wine Board. Try a simple Beaujolais (no Classico or other descriptions on the label) or a Lambrusco such as Reunite (found everywhere).

I love Argentine Malbecs, but am not familiar with the La Boca. Will be having one tonight as a matter of fact. They have all been fruity, but range from medium to full body. Thought you were looking for a light bodied wine.

Try some red California Zinfandel or similar Italian Primitivo. Both are very fruity and many are smooth without harsh tannins.
