@Pandora If I end up not wanting to drink something someone bought, I’ve found that it’s inevitable that someone will pick it up at some point. Or…you can use it as that 4th or 5th bottle of wine at a party, when people really don’t care anymore.
I agree with the above comments, wine is great, if your boyfriend has the inside scoop on what they like. Otherwise, it can be hit or miss. I’m mainly a red wine drinker, and I like most grapes except syrah, which tastes too grapy to me. I’m not sure that’s a word, lol. For white, I like them lighter & crisper, like sauvignon blanc, or pinot grigio, not so much a fan of chardonnay, though that is also a popular grape. If you do get the inside scoop, someone from the wine department in any local store that carries decent wines should be able to help you find something interesting, that’s not necessarily too mainstream, and therefore interesting.
