If you don't like the taste of wine by itself, try something that contains wine and something else, like sangria, which is wine mixed with fruit juice. There are also wine coolers, which are wine mixed with soft drinks or soda water. They are not something you would probably have with a fine dinner, but they are wine, and you might like them.

Try Pinot Grigio. It's a fruity light wine.

Go for something that is not a dry wine. You can taste more of the alcohol in dry wine.

Unfortuantely, I ruined my taste for wine with a bitt too much Tickle Pink in college....bummer. I do like sweet fruity wines as well. My favs are blackberry and raspberry. I know they are cheap wines, but I do like the Wild Vines brand and Arbor Mist ( yeah yeah, I know, redneck much?) I also like the Mogen David Blackberry wine. I detest dry wines. I'd rather have a shot of whiskey. Bleah EDIT- Oh yeah, and I like a nice Mascato or Lambrusco too. We've also made our own wines from kits and found a really good Reisling / ice wine that were just great. ( I can't believe I forgot to mention that....duh!)

With white wines something like a Viognier or a Torrentes would be good for you to try. Both are reasonably cheap and very fruity good examples are widely available. If you prefer red wine then something with quite a low tannin level and reasonably young would be good like a Pinot Noir, Tempranillo or Granache all of which are quite common. Overall you get what you pay for upto about £6.00 ($10.00) then it becomes much more a matter of taste especially to the inexperienced wine drinker.

Rieslings are always an easy place to start. People generally like them to start, drift to others, and later drift back with a new appreciation once the palate has matured.
