Too difficult to explain in short. Your best bet is to go to a reputable store, ask the salesperson to help you find something good in your price range.

Let's start at the beginning. Wine comes from grapes.

Wine is way to complicated to learn about on an internet forum. If you want to buy your friend a nice bottle of wine your best bet is to ask the salesperson.
