I'm having difficulties finding any good wine to try. I really like wine coolers, fruity drinks. Like Jamaican Me Happy and Sweet Revenge.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

I think of you like lighter fruited flavor profiles you might like Pinot noirs and Zinfandels. There a really a great affordable red blend I like called Ménage e trois, that’s available pretty much everywhere. And there are very fruity light Pinot called Meomi you might like. I get it at Costco, but it’s pretty generally available

Thank you! I'm excited to try them!

It sounds like you may like sweeter stuff and so might enjoy rieslings - they are usually sweet. Domaine Ste Michelle is inexpensive and available in most grocery stores.

For a red that is more “juice-forward” without being sugary sweet, Yellow Tail Syrah is a great value and also available everywhere. It’s my go-to for making sangria.

If you want to splurge a little for a nice wine to go with a steak dinner, Prisoner is very approachable at around $35. It’s bold and rich with a little sweetness to it.

You might want to try wines from Barefoot or San Antonio (Stella Rossa). They tend to be very sweet without being syrupy. I can’t stand them but they’re popular for a reason.

If there are local wineries in your region, check them out as well. A lot of them will have berry wines or other fruit wines that don’t have the astringency found in grape wines.

Any recommendations on getting into wine? I love other specialty beverages (3rd wave coffee, craft beer), but struggle to “figure out” wine.

The ability to get involved with local beer and coffee producers has been a huge factor for me, so I’m guessing the comparative lack of local wine producers has contributed to me struggling to understand more of the process, culture, tasting notes, etc.
