Hi,

I need some wine help, please. I know nothing about it, except that it comes in White and Red Smile

So I have a recipe that calls for a "mellow wine".
Can anyone tell me exactly what a mellow wine is and maybe recommend one that's available here, please?

Any tips how to avoid "grape juice" when looking for wine here? I don't really know anything about wine, but I keep on getting wine which taste nothing like the wine I am used to. Some of it is only 6%, and those are pretty easy to avoid, but some of the regular wines also taste very very sweet.

You've been drinking Jinro wine, haven't you? Also, Carlo Rossi sucks. Don't get it.

Go to Homeplus or E-Mart and look for foreign wines around 10 dollars in a normal bottle (no weird-butt jugs). It'll probably be good.

If you feel like treating yourself, get a pinot-noir. In the words of Paul Giamatti in Sideways, "I AM NOT F-ING DRINKING MERLOT!"

I write about value for money wines on my blog:

www.winekorea.blogspot.com

You can usually find Jorio or other Montepuliciano for 35,000 retail, 55,000 in a wine bar. See Dec Issue of 10 Magazine.

Hugel Gewurtztrrammier usually goes for 35-40,000 retail and 45,000 in a wine bar.

Other value for money wines include Petalos Bierzo and Dog Point Sav Blanc.
