What’s the Best Red Wine for Beginners?

September 10, 2024

There’s a difference between drinking red wine and getting into red wine. The former just involves opening a bottle and pouring a glass; the latter means falling in love with the many regions, grapes, and styles that come with the color. Of course, every wine-related journey can benefit from a little guidance. We asked 14 sommeliers and wine professionals to share their thoughts on the bottles that can get the ball rolling for the red wine newbie.

Some pointed toward Old World classics that showcase a style’s specific sophistication, while others offered up more general regions and varieties to help beginners wade in. Beaujolais wines are low on tannins, high on fruit, and dangerously easy to drink. Louis Jadot make some fantastic version.
