Wine (no no no, not whine) Advice wanted

I don't drink alcohol. I'm an alcoholic and a diabetic and don't touch
the stuff. However Mike and James like wine. They prefer sweet red
wines. I hate wine. It hated me. Any alcohol made out of fruit hated
me. So I need help steering them to decently priced sweet red wines.
Any suggestions?

Pam S. who'd rather not buy the stuff and then have to toss it out or
get blamed for their mistakes

Lambrusco. Its red, has the sugar content of a soda pop and gets you very
very drunk very very quickly. I don't remember I concert I went to, thanks
to Lambrusco.

Shudder. Sweet and red shouldln't be mentioned in the same sentence
together when talking about wines. Ah well, they're still young ;-)
I have no advice about sweet red wines, but maybe they'd like a nice
port?

As Yowie and Britta already indicated, it is unlikely anyone who likes sweet
red wine much cares what they drink. Sangria maybe, or I think Paisano is
fairly sweet too. Cold Duck for a treat.

(Not that I didn't drink my share of it once upon a time)

sweet red wine :-)

Sorry, I don't drink alcohol. I think my body must manufacture that stuff
that they give to alcoholics that makes them sick when they drink (my ex was
prescribed that, but the first time he took one of the pills and then drank
and then got sick, he quit taking the pills!!).

Even the smell of alcohol will make me nauseated. At both my kids' wedding,
when they toasted the newlyweds, I had to take the smallest little sip of
champaigne and both times I immediately had to go upchuck.

Hugs,
