Aight, I'll bite.

Since OP doesn't include any info at all about wine, I'll throw in a few pointers.

>Red vs. White
Health-wise, the primary difference is the antioxidants in the skins that are left on for red wine. White wine contains some of those benefits, but not as much.
Flavor-wise, take your pick. Wine has a MASSIVE variety to it, even among whites, reds, rose, and all the others (yes there's others).

>Vintage
Don't worry about this for now. Vintage is the year a wine was grown. In short, what makes a good vintage is the growing conditions at the time, in the area it was grown. Things like a particularly wet or dry year, or one where they had fungal problems, are just some of the reasons that can make or break a vintage. These differences however are generally very small and only a palate that's sampled many different wines will be able to make out any difference. If you get super into it, you'll can obsess over tiny details like the specific vineyard in the region the grapes game from and when during the season they were picked that may make a good bottle out of a mediocre vintage, like pic related.
>What should I get?
Experiment within budget. Maybe you can only afford Apothic Red or even fucking Barefoot. Fine. Just look at reviews, try different ones, and remember what you did and didn't like. I love wine, but I FUCKING HATE Muscat. Results may vary.

I'll let you know in 4 years when I open my bottle of Burgundy Pinot Noir after it hits 20 years old and is fucking spoiled.
