Good evening fellow Apricitians, I need some help. I'm an average Northerner and know practically nothing about wine, thus I need some advice.
Could anyone of you (probably the Romance ones) recommend me the best red wine that's available in stores? Preferably half-dry, as the dry ones and the sweet ones usually aren't good.
Tomorrow I'm going to the biggest wine store in Estonia and the price isn't a problem (well, below 200€ would be nice).

IMHO Romance members won't recommend you anything good.
Better ask Padre, he is Georgian, so he will recommend you a good Georgian wine and it will be ex-Soviet, thus more familiar to your taste.

If you know bit about wines, then you shouldn't pay for a good wine, you have to develop your palate with common wines

Always look for a French Cabernet Sauvignon Cru or Grand cru....trust me!
Have you noticed that if you rearrange the letters in ‘illegal immigrants’, and add just a few more letters, it spells, ‘Go home you free-loading, benefit-grabbing, resource-sucking, baby-making, non-English-speaking ********* and take those other hairy-faced, sandal-wearing, bomb-making, camel-riding, goat-f*****g raghead c***s with you.?

Generally speaking a decent way to choose a relatively good French wine would be to look where it is bottled at. Mis en bouteille a la Propriete or Mis en boutelle au Chateau or Mis en bouteille au domaine mean that the wine was processed and bottled by the local producers and usually indicates relatively good quality.
Out of Georgian red wines Kindzmaraui is on top IMO and Telliani valley firm seems to have good quality wine.
Note that anything above say 30-40 euros is a sort of difficult to differentiate from lower price wine since you really need to be experienced to enjoy the taste of really refined wines (I can't boast with being a great wine expert myself).
