We're not Jewish, but my mom and dad used to drink Manischewitz grape mixed with 7-up, so as a little kid they let us taste it and we liked it.

Since I didn't have a natural attraction to dry wines when I was a teenager/early 20 something, the Manischewitz memories eventually led me to Lambrusco wines since they are also fruity and sweet. I have pleasant memories of getting stoned and drinking Riunite Lambrusco and going skinny dipping. According to wiki, "...Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, Lambrusco was the biggest selling import wine in the United States..." Around that time Boon's Farm Apple (which is a malt bev. not wine) was sort of popular in our circle of cheap/poor friends since it was only $0.99 bottle and just enough for a mild buzz if I drank the whole bottle.

Now if I want a sweet drink, which is not very often, I'll have some Cointreau or Grand Marnier maybe a Dubonnet on the rocks.
