I have a really obscure question for a play I'm writing, and I could use some help.

Hi! And thanks for reading!

So I'm writing a play. One of the main characters is a poetry professor (don't laugh), in his 40s, and thinks he's hot shit. He brings home a bottle of wine for a dinner party at the beginning of the play, and talks like he knows everything, but really it's all bs. The twist (for you all) is that the play is set in the mid-70s.

So, the problem is that I don't really know anything about wine. So, what would be a good bottle of wine for him to bring home? Something that says, "Everyone look at how cultured and sophisticated I am," at least on the outside. Bonus points if the wine has cherry undertones (or whatever; like I said I don't know anything here). Also I'm open to suggestions.

I realize this is very obscure, but I figure if anybody could help me out it'd be the kind folk here on reddit.

Thanks!!!
