Go get a bottle of liebfraumilch. Cheap, sweet German white wine. Pretty cheap and pretty sweet -- not great quality, but drinkable, especially by people who aren't used to wine. You can get it at discount liquor marts, Trader Joe's, probably even your supermarket.

Maybe you've heard of Blue Nun wine -- they used to advertise a lot in the states. That's a liebfraumilch. But most of what you find is labeled by German vintners, and is prominently labeled liebfraumilch. Which translates to "milk of our blessed mother," by the way. Don't think about it too hard :-).

Anyway, if neither of you is too sophisticated about wine, it should do the job.
