Hi Home, and welcome to the Wine Board. Most sweet reds are dessert wines. Have two suggestions for red table wines. Italian Lambrusco is mostly inexpensive and sweet, and found most anywhere. Since you live in AR you should lookup a local winery. Most wineries in Mid-America produce wines along the sweetness spectrum, from dry to quite sweet.

Welcome to the board.
For a good tasting, sweet red wine, I recommend a Lambrusco. I think it's a great starter wine and easy on the palate. Also high on the list would be a Beaujolais Nouveau.
I'm still relatively new to wine myself, and the reds all tasted very dry to start. The Lambrusco did the trick for me.
Hope this helps!

Thank you innkeeper and justlikeheaven, I will ask for this wine at the store. I live in a dry county so I have to travel outside to get my wine. I have trouble with my stomach. My doctor a little red wine was just what I needed. Thanks again! Homemakeraide
