I enjoy a glass of red wine occasionally. From what I've heard, red wine is better for you than white wine. It is a heart booster. I prefer a Pinot Noir or a Bordeaux if I am going to drink red. I have to be really careful though as many red wines give me heartburn. As for whites, I always look for a buttery, oaky chardonnay. My favorite is by Martin Rey/Ray.

Hope this helps!
