Those of you who don't like wine may want to try something a little sweeter to start. Several of the whites (that come in tall skinny bottles with no "shoulders") like Riesling, Gewurztraminer or Sauvignon Blanc (bottle has shoulders

) A White Zinfandel is also sweet. These can ease you into regular Zinfandel, a red with the same taste as White Zin, but less sweet.
Try a Pinot Noir, another red with a milder flavor.
And of course if you don't like wine and this is really medicine to you (??!!) a little glass of Mogan David grape wine will taste just fine and do the job nicely.
