Red or white?
Moscato and White Zin are my personal faves.

Mrs. Throbber v2.0 gets way more horned up with red than white, too.
Perhaps a bottle of rose instead
We'll get a table near the street
In our old familiar place
You and I, face to face
A bottle of red, a bottle of white
It all depends upon your appetite
I'll meet you any time you want
In our Italian Restaurant

Actually, plenty of both I like and don't like.
Too many diacetyl and oak bomb Chardonnays out there but crisp off-dry Riesling is fantastic. Or fully dry Sauvignon Blanc if not from too cold a climate; don't like feeling like I'm drinking green pepper juice. And a high-quality Tokaji once in a while; yum.
Good Tempranillo and Malbec and Pinot are special IMO, but some other reds are too savory for me. I love mushrooms and smoked meat, just not in my glass, and "tar and asphalt" are never going to be adjectives describing something I want to put in my mouth. I dilute my meh Syrah about 50/50 with Grenache to get to something I enjoy.
To each their own.

I've had kick ass Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, Rose, etc. I've also had kick ass Merlot, Pinot Noir, and Syrah.
On a hot day, I'll take a good dry white, but on a cold day I tend to lean toward reds.
During lunch and afternoon hours, I like whites, and at dinner I like reds.
Whites are also great when paired with light pasta, fish, and chicken. Reds go better with heavier pasta and beef.
I guess abundance?
