Red wine is a great option for both beginners and non-wine drinkers, with Pinot Noir being one of the best wines at a wine bar. It is light-bodied and fruity notes with a range of flavors from fresh red fruit, cherries, and cranberries to darker, more complicated flavors like earth, spice, and anise. Other great options for that starting to include Beaujolais, a Zinfandel with a rich, jammy taste, or a fruit-forward Merlot.


3. Rosé Wines

Roseacute wines are entry-level wines with a fruity, semi-sweet flavor. They come from a variety of grape varieties and tend to be crisp and refreshing with the aromas of fresh red fruits, flowers, and spices. They are best served chilled and work well with a variety of foods, from salads and fish to light meat options.


They are also a great option for party drinks due to their light and fruity flavor and lower alcohol content. As a beginner, it is important to start with calm wines like Roseacute, but if you want to challenge yourself, you may also try other rose varieties like Rosato, Rosso, and Rosso Frizzante.



4. Sparkling Wines

If you're a new wine drinker or attempting to introduce someone to the world of wine, sparkling wines are a great place to start. They have a low alcohol content but a lot of flavors.


The best sparkling wines for beginners include Lambrusco, Blanc de Blancs sparkling wine, Moscato d'Asti, and Prosecco. Lambrusco is full of fruity, refreshing flavors, Blanc de Blancs has a slightly sweet acidity and high minerality, Moscato is rich in heady aromas and a light sweetness, and Prosecco is full of fresh, aromatic flavors and refreshing bubbles.

Introductory wines are red and white wines. But don't forget about rosés! They come in multiple styles, depending on the type of fruit, and can be incredibly delicious. Try all types of wines for beginners to find the one that you like best and get the full wine experience!
