Yes, this is a cooking blog, but wine and food go hand in hand. Living in the wine country of California naturally exposes me to just about every wine known to mankind.
No, I'm not one of those obnoxious, pretentious wine snobs. They should all be lined up, shot and killed. Don't let anybody intimidate you about wine. All of their phrases and words are uppity, self-important bs. Here's my philosophy: If the wine tastes good to you, drink it. I don't care if it's Two-Buck-Chuck. If you LIKE it, then DRINK it.
Don't be afraid to ask for recommendations for the budget conscious. There are LOTS of delicious wines that won't put you into the poor house. Your real friends won't care how much (or how little) you've spent for a bottle of wine -- as long as it tastes ok. Finding an inexpensive red wine is like getting lucky on a treasure hunt. AND, I have been served plenty of so-called "expensive" reds that I wanted to spit out.
