Arbor Mist the Adult Versions of Boone's Farm?

Okay, so I am not a drinker and many know why. However, I have been looking for a red wine my husband could tolerate. I was perusing the wine aisle the other day and came across the Arbor Mist section. The flavors read like the old Boone's Farm I used to drink as a teenager.

So, in your opinion...is it the same thing just repackaged?

Also, if you can think of an inexpensive red wine that is on the sweeter side, throw it out here for me. He likes a beer now and then but his cholesterol came back a bit high, so we are replacing those beers with a glass of red wine now and then.

Charles Shaw isn't too bad. It used to be called two buck Chuck cause it was only two dollars. I think it is a little more now but only $5 or so.

This is too funny!  This is my choice wine when I'm entertaining cause I can drink it all day long and it isn't too strong, tastes good, look sparkling pretty in my glass, is cheap hee hee, and takes the edge off the nerves of preparing and entertaining.  Good analogy LOL on the adult version of boone's farm .. geez, that brings back memories when drinking age was 18 in the US.  (oops, dating myself here).

Ooh, we are in the Pacific NW so blackberry is a good option...very cool.

John is not a sweet freak by any means, I just threw in the sweet thing for me in the off chance I would want to have a glass.

GRose-That is what I thought, I passed it and stopped, marveling at the convenient screw cap and teen appeal bottle ;-) I so remember Boone's, there was this tasty tropical one some 16 years ago. Man it gave me heartburn!

Ruby-Now is Sangria a mix of something?

I really should just google all of this and stop wasting everyone's time. Maybe I will put a call into my auntie in San Francisco, rumor has it she has good taste in wine.

A good cheap wine I found is Manischewitz (sp?). It's a Kosher wine, I usually get blackberry and it is $4-5 a bottle. I like it because it's sweet and has a nice after taste.

I'm not wine lover, but I DO love Olive Garden's berry sangria. It's fruity and has just a little "tart" to it. SIL and I once drank an entire pitcher of it in one sitting. Back when we liked each other, that is!
