Re: Wine
Any wine as long as it's white. I'm not fussy

 I only drink wine with my father, he knows much more than me...Red wines... I prefer Bordeaux to Bourgognes. I'm not a fanatic of White Wines (what we call blanc secs here) but "sweetened" Whites (blancs moelleux) are nice. Rosés are quite nice in summer (with ice). Some vins de pays (petits vins) are also not bad. Gewurztraminer and Riesling (Alsace), vins jaunes (Jura), Jurançon (the Pyrenees) and vins d'Anjou are my favourites.

Re: Wine
I like the wines of the Merlot stock. It has to be 100% merlot, not mixed with cabernet sauvignon. It kill that unique berry hint to it. There are nice ones from the Somontano area in Aragon, Catalunya and Languedoc-Roussill...argh! Lengadoc-Roselló!
With a red meat, a wine of the Tinta Fina stock, from the area of Ribera del Duero, in Castilla and León. With stews and other traditional-style dishes of meat and if having tapas (snacks), a wine of the Tempranillo stock from La Rioja. I've never been much into white wines, but I've tried some that I've liked depending on the food. One that comes to mind now is a white wine from Malvasía stock which I had in Tenerife. Otherwise, to accompany shellfish I go for Galician wines of Albariño stock.

As for my own preferences, my favourite red wine is the Italian Chianti (Tuscany) and my favourite white wines are the Gewurztraminer (Alsace) and the Sauternes (Aquitania).
