Sympathy wine

On Zuzula's blog recently she asked Nick for some 'sympathy wine and cake'.

Now I am presuming there was a comma missing but then it got me thinking ... what would sympathy wine be like?

I'm thinking a very gentle rose (the most talked about wine on this blog at the mo!), fruity but without too much punch, maybe a slight sparkle but not too much fizz, and immensly quaffable.
