Gosh, I'm getting so confused, I had no idea that Sangria and Mead were wines 
It's LUSHHHHH!!! Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Mead is honey wine Old, old, old traditional stuff, in some pagan cultures a supply of it was sent off with newly married couples, honey wine for the honey moon.

I know it's been mentioned, but I just wanted to put in my vote for Beringer White Zinfendel. First of all, it's cheap - about $5 a bottle. But I can think of at least three people - plus myself - who said they never liked wine until they tried that one. It's a very light taste. And it goes with everything.
I just tried this last weekend - bought it because it was cheap - and DID NOT like it, LOL. It tasted like kool aide. I thought it might be more drinkable if it were mixed with wine, but I haven't gotten back to the store to buy a wine.

Oh definitely lol...I was just excited because I never thought to check...and I forgot the important part of that message.....the screw off top
I've read a few articles recently, too, that discussed screw-tops vs. traditional corks where even die-hard afficionados were convinced that modern screw tops were actually superior.
Although the synthetic corks that most of the Aussie wines use are pretty cool.
BTW: Alice White Vineyard's Lexia is a good one to try if you're looking for something lighter and sweeter. It's really got a lovely taste.
*written as I sit here with a glass of BotaBox' Malbec, which is okay, although not as good as their old Vine Zinfandel.
Some of the box wines aren't bad, and if you don't drink much at a time are a good way to go since they don't go bad. Franzia makes a nice White Zinfandel and White Grenache. BotaBox' reds are really decent. I stick to reds mostly now because they have a significantly lower carb count.
I like wine, but am picky. I actually cannot stand moscato anymore! Way, way, way too sweet!!! I dont have favorite brands, and I like white more then red on average. I do not like dry reds, but I can stand them better now then when I was younger. I like pinot noir for reds, and reasling for whites.
