I second (OK, third) Australian wines...I didn't use to like wine, but Australian wines in general are very good (as in easy to drink even if you're not a wine aficionado). I think it was a Jacob's Creek one that got me into red wine. I still don't like white wine much, I think a lot of it tastes like yeast. But red wine...yum.
If you're lucky enough to have a good wine/liquor store nearby, they should be able to give you wine recommendations based on what you're planning to eat with the wine. (at least I guess they should. Over here all the alcohol stores are state owned, and the people who work there are generally very good at finding a suitable wine. The stores also list what types of wine go with what foods, etc.)
By the way, does anyone know which types of wine are most likely to turn your teeth/lips blue? I hate when that happens...
