Try a Chablis or Pinot Griglio. An ice cube might if help if still too stong. I could do whites and beer before I could do most sodas even flat but then I was never really a soda drinker. The tannins in the reds bothered my tongue so it was a couple of years before I could drink reds. I imagine wine will be in your future.

Take care,
Eileen
