What's a nice, smooth red wine to drink?

[HairGodsHelpMe]

I tried an Australian merlot last week that I bought from Tesco but it was fairly sharp on the tongue and I couldn't finish the bottler.

I am currently drinking a french cabernet sauvignon and it's better than the wine I had last week but it's still a little bit sharp on the tongue.

I am looking for a smooth red wine to drink. Something that would be easy to drink.

Any recommendations for me and thanks.

Argentinan Malbec

Good Malbec!

Sainsburys taste the difference once it really nice

Malbec.

Malbec all day long

Im afraid I cannot abide new world wines. I used to drink a lot of wine and just came to the conclusion I only like French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese. There is always something too metallic, spicy, tinny, sharp, bitter about new world.

I cant explain why there would be given there are lots of world wide wine houses but there it is

I cant really drink now these days so would give anything to have any wine quite frankly!!!

Feel like I should really contribute here based on my name😁
I'll agree with the pp in getting a malbec, my current 2 budget friendly favourites when on offer are Pepperbox and Trapiche.

Pinot noir?

I really like californian reds, eg Apothic, dark horse and carnivor.

Pinot noir is usually my go to.

I like a Bordeaux - Morrisons have a great selections of wines.

Merlot probably one of the least smooth IMO, not my favourite but would take a glass if offered 🤣

Pinot noir. There’s a goodish smooth cheap one by Bicycleta or something in Tesco. 11% and open it a good 40 mins before you drink it. Slips down a treat.

Yellowtail shiraz has a toasted marshmallow flavour to it 😋

If you ve got a Co op nearby and are lucky, there's a Spanish red wine called Kingpin which is Tempranillo, Shiraz, Cabernet blend and absolutely gorgeous.

Yes a good Pinot noir

Yummy

Another recommended Californian red:

I like Jammy Red Roo.

Barefoot Malbec is very smooth and easy to drink.

this is excellent - was recomended on saturday kitchen about 10 years ago and weve been drinking it ever since!

Everyone always says merlot for easy drinking, but I prefer a French pinot noir. And it doesn't have to be expensive. For Italian, a nero d'avola.

I find New World reds are often rather sharp and tannic. I generally prefer reds from cooler climes.

A French or German Pinot noir should be nice and smooth. New Zealand also makes some super Pinot Noir.

19 Crimes, The Uprising, Australian, 13.5%

Most Wanted, Italy, Puglia, also 13.5%

I don't like wine unless it's very sweets my friend went to Buckfast recently, and I asked him to get me some tonic wine to try. It's delicious!!

We tried snoop dog tonight and it was actually not at all bad, would recommend for an enjoyable easy red. Cool bottle too.

19 Crimes is my favourite at the moment, it’s so easy to drink.
