Looking for a great Red Wine

[Cruel Laugh]

Never had wine before and would love advice on a really good, tastey, un-bitter red wine to celebrate an occasion, will spend up to $50 HELP!

[Thomas]

Bitter is not a general quality in wine. Do you mean dry when you refer bitter?

If you mean dry then you want a sweet red wine or at least medium sweet. Can't help you there; I think sweet red wines are abominable.

Now if you truly mean lacking bitterness, then your choices are monumental and it would be presumptuous of any of us to give you a suggestion without knowing more.

Maybe a bottle of Ficklin or Quady Port. They are brandy-enhanced wines (therefore a little higher in alcohol) and are meant to be drunk at the end of the meal...but they do have a little sweetness and definitely are not bitter.
