> I'm confused, why would you be buying your girlfriend wine when you aren't sure what she likes?

Agreed. Odd gift to buy 6 of if you are not familiar with it.

> White Zin

Agreed. Back in the day it was only thing I could get girls to drank. That and Boone's Farm or coolers and sangria.

I got the wife all the guys in my dept pic related (one on the right) this year. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pouilly-Fuissé Usually sets me back about 150-160 per case (it 15/bottle where I live).

If you find yourself lost in the wine store and don't have any good recommendations, you can use these tips:

- most wine is ~$10 for 750ml. Shoot for the $15-20 range. Don't waste your $ on anything higher than that.

- check the alcohol content. Unless its the really good shit, most wines with high alcohol content (10% or better) will either be dry or bitter.

- if you can figure out if she prefers red/white, be sure to do that. A lot of people have strong opinions one way or the other because of flavor or one or the other gives them hangovers.
