I agree with the above two posts. Trader Joe's in-house brand "Charles Shaw" wines are decent and cheap enough that you can pick up one of each type to experiment. I've had overall good results too with Walmart's Oak Leaf brand.
We happen to like dry reds, it doesn't make much difference for our daily glass what we drink. I will be honest. We are content with a glass or two of boxed wine before dinner. When we have company or want something a little more special we have several kinds we like.
We can read anything and believe it. I wonder why drinking a glass of red wine (5 oz or so) even if you have never drank would harm anyone? No, I did not read the article. As for non alcoholic red wine having the same effects, why not just drink grape juice if that is the case? I just read the study, you are saying "it has just been discovered" is a little over the top. One study done, on a very small group of people is certainly not a discovery. It is just a small study. In fact a study can be done to prove anything it wants to prove and still not really be proof.
Wine snobs will dismiss it, but I buy the Vella wine that come in a box (Franzia or Oak Leaf is okay too). It doesn't go bad since air doesn't get to it, so if you only drink a glass per day it'll last a long time. I always buy either Cabernet or Merlot.
It's fun to go to tastings at local wineries and learn about different wines. If you have any nearby, it's a great day out plus a fun way to discover what you like.
