What sorts of red wine do you like?

What sorts of red wine do you like?

I hope we can also talk about the good wine here, which is God's gift for humanity.

With "sorts" I do not mean countries or regions, but grape varieties.
Which is cépage in French and Rebsorte in German.

For instance:

Rioja is a region in Spain, and Tempranillo is a grape variety.
Chianti is a region in Italy, and Sangiovese is a grape varietty.

Now i will put a short list to the vote.
A list that is far from complete, as there are thousands of grape varieties.

 

I have now clickued onto all the sorts in this list - with the exception of Dornfelder.

 

Red wine gives me heartburn. I love sweet German wines... not Spatlese... but REALLY sweet... like Auslese.

 

dry wines have less carbs, so would choose that, but as not much of a wine drinker, not sure of names

 

2 voters now say: Cabernet Sauvignon

 

All the red wines? Or just some.
Perhaps you may have more luck with the rosé wines?

 

Yes, Rose is much more palatable for me. But, admittedly, I'm a more cras kinda guy that prefers:

Menu: "dirty" vodka martini, shrimp cocktail, another martini; "loaded baked potato”, VERY RARE Bone-In Ribeye; pitcher(s) of dark beer; flan; coffee w/Amaretto

 

Where are the friends of a good glass of wine?

 

I like Merlot, Cab Sav and the South African Pinotage, Australian red wines are superb, very smooth, best in the world except for Pinotage...which of course originated in South Africa I believe.
I don't drink much these days...maybe I'll buy a bottle once or twice a year...
I can't drink white wine the chemicals make me feel sick...even just one glass

 

Yes - and Pinotage is a great wine!

 

A German starts a thread about wine and doesn't mention Riesling? Weird...

I'm more of an amateur when it comes to wines (Beer is more my go to) but when I partake, I prefer a local Florida winery, San Sabastian's Vintner's Red.

 

CAN'T YOU READ??????????????

Here in this thread we talk about RED WINE!!!!!!!!!!!!

FYI: Riesling is a WHITE WINE!

 

If I have not yet already done so, I will soon create a poll about white wine.

 

I thought it was a red.

I told you I was a wine amateur.

 

Riesling a red wine?
Sorry, soon I will die laughing.

 

Other -- due to lack of Shiraz/Syrah

 

Is there no topic in this forum about white wine?

I did not find any.

 

3 now say: Cabernet Sauvignon

 

RIesling is a white wine.
Here we are in the red wine section.

I think the threads about wines are a waste of time here.
And I thought that Americans also drink wine.
Was I mistaken?

 

I like it very much myself.
Here is some info about Pinotage.

More: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinotage

 

now:

2 x Pinotage
4 x others

 

Boxed... lol.. Well I don't really drink alcohol often, too busy drinking caffeine, but the cheap kind tastes about as good as the expensive kind to me.

 

I would never call wine just "alcohol".
Wine is a noble drink, that also contains some alcohol.
But drinking alcohol? Pure alcohol?
I would never do that. Never ever.

I say: "I enjoy a glass of Gewürztrmainer - or I injoy a glass of Carménère."
But I would never say: "I am drinking alcohol".

 

Turner Road is extremely nice
